Best Diabetic Lemon Biscotti Recipes

SUGAR FREE BISCOTTI RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Prep a rimmed baking sheet for nonstick. I use parchment paper. In a medium bowl, use a whisk or a for to mix together the almond flour and baking powder.
• Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar alternative and the butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and then add the extracts. Stir in the dry ingredients from the first bowl until just blended. Then fold in the almond slivers. Form the dough into a log that is about 12" long and 3" wide (give or take). The dough will be crumbly and you will need to use your hands. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden before removing from the oven and allowing to cool for 30 minutes.
• Once the baked biscotti has cooled you can slice it diagonally into ½-3/4" slices and then place them cut side down on the baking sheet. Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Transfer the biscotti to a cooling rack to cool. Top your biscotti with your choice of ingredients and serve.

STARBUCKS LEMON-TIPPED BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375°F In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and blend thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. The dough will be soft.
• On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough in half. Lightly flour each piece and shape it into a log about 1 1/2" in diameter and 9" long. Place the logs about 3" apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Press each log down to make it about 3/4" thick and 3" wide. Bake until puffed and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.
• Cool 10 minutes on the pan, then slide the logs onto a work surface. Using a long, sharp knife, cut each log crosswise into 3/4" thick slices. Make each cut with a single swipe of the blade. Don't use a sawing motion, which will break the cookies. Place the cookies, cut side down, on the baking sheet. (The cookies can be touching.) Bake 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and, using tongs, turn each cookie over. Bake until the biscotti are golden, 10 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
• To make the icing: in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Beat in additional drops of lemon juice if necessary to make an icing that will coat the biscotti lightly. Dip one end of each biscotti in the icing, turning to coat the tip evenly. Place on a wire rack until the icing sets.
