Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 lemons, zested then juiced
• 1 tsp real vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup shelled pistachios
• 6 oz chocolate chips, melted
• 1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixer, blend together eggs, lemon zest and juice and vanilla.
2. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend well. Fold in pistachios.
3. On a foil-cooking spray lined baking sheet, turn out biscotti dough. It'll be sticky so coating your hands with cooking spray will help immensely. Shape dough into a rough loaf and square off.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until dough is cooked, but not browned. Gently move to a cooling rack and cool completely.
5. Turn oven down to 300 degrees. Cut dough on a diagonal into about 1" slices. Put slices cut-side down back onto foil-cooking spray lined baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. Move to cooling rack and cool completely.
6. Dip biscotti into chocolate and sprinkle with salt. Let cool and enjoy!
