Crunchy biscotti with the zesty burst of lemon and aromatic rosemary, paired with the nutty flavor of pistachios—perfect for coffee, tea, or as a standalone treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and rosemary.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Fold in the pistachios.
  6. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick pieces.
  9. Place the slices cut-side down back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are crisp and golden.
  10. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Notes

[‘Use fresh lemon zest and rosemary for the best flavor.’, ‘If the dough feels sticky, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes before shaping.’, ‘Use a serrated knife for slicing to avoid crumbling.’, ‘Don’t overbake during the second bake to prevent the biscotti from becoming too hard.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like dried cranberries or white chocolate chips for extra flair.’]
