Low Fat Lemon Biscotti

---

I used the heart smart honey almond biscotti as a base mixture for experimentation and came up with these guys. A yummy lemon fix for calorie counters. Tip: i found fine ground almonds in the bulk aisle in save on foods. The 3/4 cup dried cranberries can be substituted with whole or ground almonds, or diced candied ginger, or whatever you like, really.
