- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup {1 stick} unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 3/4 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped {optional}
- 2/3 cup craisins {optional}
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to combine, set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt on medium speed just until combined, add the eggs one at a time. Switch to low speed, add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Gently stir in the pistachios and craisins.
- Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Let the biscotti cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the log on a diagonal into ½ inch thick slices using a serrated knife. Arrange the biscotti {cut side down} on a baking sheet, bake about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
