"These addictive Italian cookies are meant for dunking, but are good eaten alone. The word "biscotti" refers to their preparation--they are twice baked. These have less fat than most because they egg whites along with eggs."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl combine the first 4 ingredients; mix well.

Step 2

Add the next 4 ingredients and beat until a dough forms; add the almonds.

Step 3

Turn the sticky dough out onto a floured board and knead several times; then divide dough in half and with floured hands, form the dough into two flattish logs, about 15" long by 2" wide.

Step 4

Place the logs about 3" apart on a baking sheet that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray.

Step 5

Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes; remove and cool for 10 minutes and reduce oven to 275 degrees.

Step 6

On a cutting board, cut the logs diagonally into 3/4" thick slices; arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes; turn them and bake another 10-12 minutes.

Step 7

Turn heat off and leave biscotti to crisp in the oven for another 15 minutes; remove and completely cool.
