Orange Poppy Seed Biscotti

---

I found this on healthdiscovery.net and began making a few changes to suit my own tastes and preferences. The original was for lemon biscotti and can easily be switched back. One point per cookie.

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

---

Combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

---

Combine the zest , egg , egg whites and extract in a second bowl.

Add the dry mixture and mix well.

---

Form the dough into 2 logs each 8-9 inches long.

---

Place logs onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

---

Bake for 30 minutes.

---

Let cool slightly and cut diagonally into 1 / 2 inch slices.

---

Put cut slices soft sides down back on the cookie sheets and bake slices another 8 to 10 minutes until dry.

Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
