Fat

Low Fat Amaretto Biscotti is a type of Italian cookie that is twice-baked to create a dry, crunchy texture. These cookies are made with flour, sugar, almonds, and eggs, and flavored with almond extract. Deliciously crisp and low in fat, they are a perfect snack for those who are trying to maintain a healthy diet without sacrificing taste. The low-fat content makes them a guilt-free indulgence that you can enjoy any time of the day, whether you're looking for a quick snack or a light dessert.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, ground almonds, baking powder, and baking soda.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg and egg whites together until foamy.
4.	Add almond extract to the egg mixture and whisk again.
5.	Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until it forms a sticky dough.
6.	Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a long log shape and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7.	Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
8.	Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.
9.	Slice each log into diagonal pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
10.	Place the slices back on the baking sheet and bake them for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp.
