Steps of preparation

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Favuzzi lemon extra virgin olive oil, sugar, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, chocolate chips, poppy seeds, baking powder and Favuzzi fleur de sel.
  3. With a wooden spoon, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well incorporated.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  5. Transfer the biscotti dough onto a floured work surface, dust the dough with flour and divide in half.
  6. With dusted hands, roll out each half into a 12-inch log and gently transfer the logs onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing 2-inches apart.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown with firm tops.
  8. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow the biscotti loaves to cool for approximately 10 minutes for easy slicing.
  9. Transfer the logs onto a cutting board.
  10. Slice the logs at a diagonal, into 1-inch slices.
  11. Return the sliced biscotti upright onto the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Depending on how dry you want them.
  12. Transfer the twice-baked biscotti onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before glazing.
  13. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  14. Brush the lemon glaze over the cooled biscotti and allow the glaze to set for 30 minutes.
