Step 1: Prep Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two additions.
Fold in the lemon zest and pistachios for extra texture and flavor.
Step 3: Shape and First Bake
Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a log, about ¾-inch thick.
Place the logs on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 4: Slice and Second Bake
Let the logs cool for 15–20 minutes. Slice them diagonally into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
Arrange the slices back on the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for another 12–15 minutes to achieve that perfect crunch. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Add the Glaze
Combine powdered sugar with lemon juice to create a smooth glaze.
Drizzle over the cooled biscotti for a sweet, tangy finish.
