This is like a german-style version of biscotti! You can omit the lemon zest and add in 1 teaspoon cinnamon if desired and add in some mini chocolate chips.

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Using an electric mixer at high speed beat eggs and sugar for about 4 minutes or until thick and foamy.

Add in oil and vanilla.

Beat until well blended.

In a bowl combine the flour , baking powder , salt and lemon zest.

Add into the egg mixture , beating on low speed until combined.

Divide the dough in half.

Transfer to prepared baking sheet and shape into two 10 x 4-inch logs.

Bake for about 50-60 minutes.

Remove from oven and reduce the heat to 275 degrees.

Using a serrated knife slice the logs into about 1-inch thick slices.

Return to oven and bake another 20-22 minutes.
