Ingredients:
• 1 cup – Sugar
• 2 tbsp – Orange zest
• 2 cups – All-purpose flour
• 1.25 tsp – Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp – Salt
• 1/4 cup – Unsalted Butter (at room temperature)
• 1 tsp – Orange flower water
• 1 tsp – Vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup – Yogurt
• 1 tbsp – Flaxseed meal
• 1/4 cup – Pistachio nuts
• 1/2 cup – Tutti frutti
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Mix together the sugar and orange zest in a small bowl until the sugar gets moist.
- Meanwhile sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and the sugar mixture in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until they turn fluffy.
- Beat in the orange flower water, yogurt, flaxseed meal and vanilla extract.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until they are combined. Stir in the pistachios and tutti frutti with a wooden spoon.
- Divide the dough into two balls and place both on the prepared baking sheet.
- Form each ball into a medium sized log, leave enough space between them and slightly flatten them with damp fingers.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
- On a cutting board, cut the cooked dough diagonally into cookies and arrange them again over baking sheets.
- Bake again for 15-20 minutes, turning the baking sheet midway during baking, until the biscottis are firm and dry.
- Cool them completely and store in an airtight box.
- They stay perfect for a week.
