Lunch: Dried Cherry Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg whites
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Instructions

In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg whites and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture. Stir in cherries and almonds (dough will be stiff).
Press into an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375 ° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan to a cutting board; cut biscotti in half with a serrated knife. Cut each half into 1/2-in. slices.
Place slices cut side down on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown, turning once. Remove to wire racks to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
