This is a really easy recipe that my mom made before the lemon bar 'rage' was on! Thick-skinned lemons work the best. I suggest using real butter and eggs, I've tried using eggbeaters--nowhere near as good!
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup butter , softened
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups white sugar

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix 2 cups of flour and confectioner's sugar together. Cut in the butter or margarine. Mix well until the dough resembles pie dough consistency. Press the dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Marietta's Butterscotch Bourbon Biscotti
These biscotti are not too sweet and easy to make. You do not have to use the bourbon but it does give it a little something extra. You can also drizzle melted butterscotch on them, but remember that will make them sweeter.
