How to Make Lemon Cranberry Biscotti With A Hint Of Cardamom

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spoon 3 cups all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups and level with a knife.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the zest of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 7-8 times.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into an 8-inch-long roll.
  8. Place the rolls 6 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Flatten each roll to 1-inch thickness.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  11. Remove the rolls from the baking sheet and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  12. Using a serrated knife, cut each roll diagonally into 15 slices.
  13. Place the slices, cut sides down, back onto the baking sheet.
  14. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  15. Bake for 10 minutes.
  16. Flip the biscotti slices.
  17. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  18. Remove from the baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  19. While the biscotti cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1 tablespoon lemon juice, a few drops of yellow food coloring, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled biscotti.
