Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.
• Form the dough into a 13-inch-long, 3-inch-wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
• Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
• Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.

• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch.
• Allow log to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• Leave oven on.
• Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and extract until thick and lemon-colored. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in the blueberries, coconut and almonds., Divide dough in half. Using lightly floured hands, shape each into a 9x2-1/2-in. rectangle on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until firm and lightly browned., Place pans on wire racks. When cool enough to handle, transfer loaves to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-in. slices. Place slices cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Reduce heat to 325°. Bake for 5-7 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cream the sugar and butter together in a stand-up mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time and continue to beat for a few more minutes. Add the vanilla, lemon juice and zest. Mix well. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt and add to the mixer. Combine well then stir in the blueberries. Shape the dough with lightly floured hands into a log, approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. You may find it easier to divide the dough in half and form two shorter logs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet flatten slightly and bake for 30 minutes. Put lemon juice and sugar in a pot and heat on medium heat until sugar is melted. Remove from stove and let stand. Remove from oven and cool until you can handle it. Brush lemon glaze over the top and then slice diagonally, into 1/2-inch slices and return to the baking sheet. Bake again until the cookies lightly brown, about ten minutes. Flip them over, put lemon glaze on the tops and brown another few minutes. When they come out flip them over and lemon glaze the tops once more.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, anise seeds, salt, and nuts. Transfer to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs; beat until a stiff dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
• Divide dough in half. Form each half into a 12-inch log. (Dough may be sticky; dampen your hands for easier handling.) Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten so each log is 13 inches long, 2 1/4 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick.
• Brush logs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until firm and very pale golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool on pans on a wire rack, 40 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
• Using a serrated knife with a sawing motion, cut logs into slices slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. Arrange, cut-side up, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until dry to touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on pans on racks, 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 1 month.
