Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and chopped
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 piece egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg white, and sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest to the egg mixture and mix well.

Step 4

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped pistachios.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 8

Once the log has cooled slightly, use a sharp serrated knife to gently cut it into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Step 9

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are crisp.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
