Skinny Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Biscotti/2 smart points

Ingredients
4 egg whites

1 egg, I used Eggland’s Best

½ cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

3 cups all-purpose flour, I used unbleached flour

½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon



¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, or an electric mixer, blend together the egg whites, egg, and oil.

3. Add the vanilla and sugar, mix well.

4. Mix in the flour, chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt until the dough is combined. (Do not over mix) Place dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

5. In a small bowl blend together the topping ingredients-sugar and cinnamon.

6. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Shape each portion into a loaf 2 inches wide, 1-inch high, and about 10- inches long. Place the loaves 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each loaf with a little cinnamon/sugar on the top.

7. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer loaves to a cutting board using a spatula. Cut the loaves crosswise into ¼- inch slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the slices with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

8. Return the sliced loaves back to the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Turn the biscotti over, sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar and bake for another 12 minutes or until crispy.
