Name: Pignoli Biscotti

Let us all be on our guard against the love of money. The world is full of it in our days. The plague is abroad. Thousands who would abhor the idea of worshiping Juggernaut, are not ashamed to make an idol of gold. We are all liable to the infection, from the least to the greatest. We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it. It is an evil that works very deceitfully. It carries us captives before we are aware of our chains. Once let it get the mastery, and it will harden, paralyze, scorch, freeze, blight, and wither our souls. It overthrew an apostle of Christ. Let us take heed that it does not overthrow us. One leak may sink a ship. One unmortified sin may ruin a soul.

Place nuts in pan and bake in 350'F. oven 4-5 minutes. Stir
occasionally, checking to see that nuts don't burn. Let cool.
In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, lemon
juice and zest. Batter will look curdled, but don't worry. Combine

blended. Mix in nuts.
Divide dough in half. On a greased and floured baking sheet, pat out
the dough into 2 logs, 1/2" high, and inch and a half wide and 14"
