In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.

Starbucks Lemon-Tipped Pistachio Biscotti

For the biscotti:

6 T. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 T. grated lemon zest
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. shelled pistachios, roasted and coarsely chopped

For the lemon icing:

2 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1/4 c. lemon juice

Preheat an oven to 375 F.

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest until well blended.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add to the butter mixture and blend thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. The dough will be soft. On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough in half.

Lightly flour each piece and shape it into a log about 1 1/2" in diameter and 9" long. Place the logs about 3" apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Press each log down to make it about 3/4" thick and 3" wide. Bake until puffed and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.

Cool 10 minutes on the pan, then slide the logs onto a work surface.

Using a long, sharp knife, cut each log crosswise into 3/4" thick slices. Make each cut with a single swipe of the blade. Don't use a sawing motion, which will break the cookies.

Place the cookies, cut side down, on the baking sheet. (The cookies can be touching.) Bake 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and, using tongs, turn each cookie over. Bake until the biscotti are golden, 10 minutes more.

Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. To make the icing, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Beat in additional drops of lemon juice if necessary to make an icing that will coat the biscotti lightly.

Dip one end of each biscotti in the icing, turning to coat the tip evenly.

Place on a wire rack until the icing sets.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen Biscotti.

1 cup granulated sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan, a 9-inch spring form pan or an 8-inch square pan.

To make the streusel, in a medium bowl, combine the Graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and melted butter. Blend well and set aside.

To make the cake, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Beat vigorously until smooth and quite thick, about 1 minute.

Spread half of the batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with half the streusel mixture. Spoon remaining batter over the streusel and top with remaining streusel.

Bake until cake tests done, about 50 minutes.

Cool about 20 minutes, then remove cake from pan.
