How to Make Nutty Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using a mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
- Add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (a mix of pistachios and macadamia nuts is recommended).
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch roll.
- Place the rolls at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Using a serrated knife, cut each roll into ¾-inch thick slices.
- Place the slices, cut-side down, onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- Flip the biscotti slices.
- Bake for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and completely dry and crisp.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the nut coating:
- Combine ½ cup pistachios and ½ cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped.
- In a small saucepan, melt 8-10 ounces of white chocolate baking squares over low heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon zest and 1 tablespoon shortening.
- Add additional shortening, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a dipping consistency.
- Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted white chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle with the chopped nuts.
- Place the biscotti on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate dry completely before serving.
