Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

  2. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the granulated sugar, egg, water, oil, lemon zest, and lemon extract until blended. On low speed, add the flour mixture, beating just until combined.

  3. Place the dough, in 2 (12 inch) logs, 3 inches apart on the sheet. Bake until golden, 20 minutes. Cool the logs on the sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each log crosswise into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on the sheet and bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes. Cool on a rack.

  4. For the icing, whisk confectioners sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle on the biscotti. Let stand until icing hardens, about 2 hours.
