Somehow, in over 12 years these Carrot Cake Biscotti are only the third biscotti recipe to ever grace the pages of The Spiffy Cookie – the other two being Nutella Stuffed Biscotti and Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Biscotti (I like stuffed things, evidently).

But they are the ninth carrot cake-inspired recipe, joining the ranks of: Carrot Cake Banana Bread, Carrot Cake Batter Dip, Carrot Cake Cookies and even Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Carrot Cake Oatmeal, Carrot Cake Pecan Pie, Carrot Cake Waffles, and of course Carrot Cake.

I don’t know about you, but carrot cake is one of the first cake flavors I think during the season of spring.

To freshen up the flavor of carrot cake for spring even further, once they are double baked, these carrot cake biscotti are drizzled with lemon glaze and sprinkled with with dried lemon peel on top. You can thank the generous sponsors of #SpringSweetsWeek for that flavor inspiration.

    Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

    Ingredients

    BISCOTTI

    • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup brown sugar
    • 2 eggs, room temperature
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 tsp almond extract
    • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (about 1 medium)
    • 1/2 cup shopped walnuts or pecans

    TOPPING

    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • Juice from 1 lemon
    • Dried lemon peel, optional for garnish

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    2. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Set aside.
    3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and extracts until just blended. Add the flour mixture on low speed of your mixer, stirring until smooth. Fold in the carrots and walnuts until evenly distributed.
    4. Scoop the dough onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Roll out into a 10×6-inch rectangle. Carefully lift and transfer to a cookie sheet.
    5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow it to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F
    6. Remove from the parchment and use a serrated knife to cut into 3/4-inch slices. Place back on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, cut-side-down, and bake 10 minutes. Flip and bake another 10 minutes or until golden.
    7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
    8. While the cookies cool, in a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Drizzle over cooled biscotti, sprinkles with dried lemon peel and allow to set before serving.

    My husband has been making Biscottis since he was a child. He helped his grandma cook every day after school. He stayed with her after school because his parents worked. He will be making the carrot cake ones this weekend.
