I was looking for something to make that would be lowfat, but good for munching. I found some biscotti recipes, which most are lowfat. I happened to have all of the ingredients for this recipe and tried it this morning. It is so good! I made it with the cherries, and I used egg substitute instead of eggs.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup unbleached flour
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
7/8 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Dash salt
1/3 cup toasted almonds or hazelnuts -- chopped coarsely
3/4 cup dried cherries or golden raisins
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a small bowl beat the eggs,
vanilla, and almond extract with a wire whisk. In a mixing bowl
place the flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix to
blend. Add egg mixture and mix until blended, about 1 minute. Mix
in the nuts and cherries. On a baking sheet lined with parchment,
pat out the dough into two logs about 12 inches long, 1/2 inch
high and 2-1/2 inches wide. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Then slice about 3/8
inch thick, cutting diagonally. Lay cut side down and return to a
275 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until toasted, turning
them once to dry the other side. Let cool and store in a tightly
closed container.
Makes about 3-1/2 dozen.
