Lemon Biscotti
Healthy Holiday Recipe

Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup spoonable sugar substitute
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons reduced-fat cold stick margarine, cut into bits
1 large egg or 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
3 tablespoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor or in a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar substitute, and baking powder. Add the margarine and pulse until mixture forms fine crumbs (if working in a bowl, cut in margarine with a pastry blender or two knives). Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pulse until mixture forms a dough around the blade (mixing in a bowl, stir until moistened and gathers into dough).

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead 2 or 3 times, adding additional flour if needed (dough should be sticky). Form dough into a log about 2 inches diameter. Transfer log to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
