Biscotti is an Italian twice-baked cookie that is typically dipped in coffee or tea. This version of biscotti is sugar-free and suitable for diabetics and those trying to reduce their sugar intake. The pistachios in this recipe are a great addition, adding a crunchy texture and a source of healthy fats and nutrients.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat the Splenda, Egg Beaters, melted butter, and vanilla until creamy.
4.	Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
5.	Fold in the chopped pistachios.
6.	Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log about 2 inches wide and 12 inches long.
7.	Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between them.
8.	Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
9.	Allow the biscotti logs to cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
10.	Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the logs into diagonal slices about 1/2 inch apart.
11.	Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are crunchy and golden brown.
