Lemon Biscottini: The Bright, Refreshing After-Dinner Bite
Real lemon zest. A clean crisp snap. A bite-size cookie made for that moment after dinner when you want something sweet and refreshing.
Personally, one of my favorite snacks is Lemon Biscottini. It hits every note and always hits the spot when I’m craving something sweet and refreshing after dinner. That exact craving is why I created this flavor profile in the first place.
New to biscottini? Lemon is a great first pick because it’s bright, clean, and pairs with almost anything. If you want to browse all flavors, start at the Biscottini hub.
What are Lemon Biscottini?
Biscottini means “little biscotti.” They’re bite-size versions of traditional Italian biscotti, baked with the same double-bake method for a crisp snap, but sized for quick snacking and easy dunking.
Lemon Biscottini are our citrus-forward take. We fold real lemon zest into the dough and bake in small batches so each bite stays light, crisp, and bright.

Why I made Lemon Biscottini
I learned to bake from my Sicilian grandmother. She taught me the basics, and she taught me something even more important. Baking should feel like a moment.
Lemon Biscottini came from one very specific moment. It’s after dinner. You want something sweet, but not heavy. You want something that feels clean and refreshing. That’s what this flavor is built for.
How we bake them (and why the texture matters)
Biscotti are meant to be crisp. The double bake dries them out on purpose so they stay snappy, travel well, and dunk beautifully.
We keep these bite-size so you can enjoy them without committing to a huge cookie. After dinner, a couple pieces is usually all it takes for me to hit that sweet spot.
7 easy ways to enjoy Lemon Biscottini
1) After dinner, straight from the bag. The simplest move and the reason this flavor exists.
2) Dunk in coffee. A quick dip softens the edges and lifts the lemon.
3) Pair with tea. Earl Grey or black tea makes the citrus feel even brighter.
4) Crush over ice cream. Vanilla turns it into a lemon-cookie crunch topping.
5) Add to a yogurt bowl. Greek yogurt + berries + a few crushed biscottini is an easy dessert moment.
6) Serve with fruit. Strawberries or blueberries plus lemon biscottini is a clean, simple plate.
7) Make a “coffee moment” tray. Put out Lemon, Chocolate, and Amaretto for guests and let them pick.
Pairings that make Lemon Biscottini taste even better
Lemon plays well with a lot, but these are the easiest wins:
Coffee: light roast, cold brew, or espresso.
Tea: Earl Grey, English Breakfast, or chamomile.
After-dinner sip: if you like dessert wine, keep it simple and classic.
