I tried this variation of Lemon Biscotti after changing a few details - absolutely yummy and it's low fat AND only 1 Weight Watcher's point per cookie - bonus! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
3/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup coarsely ground almonds |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg |
2 egg whites |
1 tablespoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
3. Mix together the egg, egg whites and extract in a larger bowl.
4. Add dry ingredients from small bowl to the ingredients in the larger bowl, mixing well.
5. Form the dough into two logs each about 8 inches long.
6. Place logs onto a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. Let cool slightly and cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices making 36 slices. Place slices flat end up onto cookie sheet and bake until dry (about another 8 to 10 minutes).
8. Cool and store in airtight container.
9. Variation: sprinkle dried slices with powdered sugar while still warm before serving.
