Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and, using floured hands, shape it into a long, slightly flattened log about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Step 7

Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until it is lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the log from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 10

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.

Step 11

Bake for another 10 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the biscotti are dry and crisp.

Step 12

Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
