Traditional biscotti with the delicate taste of anise.

Servings

2 cup white all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp anise seed , crushed
1 tsp low sodium baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.25 tsp salt
2 raw large eggs
2 egg whites (large)
2 tbsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cooking spray

1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2 Combine flour, sugar, anise seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, lemon zest, and lemon juice and add to the dry ingredients; mix well.
3 Shape the dough into two 14-by-1 1/2-inch logs on a floured surface. Set the logs on the prepared baking sheet and bake until firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the logs to a rack to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
4 Cut the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stand the slices upright on the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes. Let cool before storing.
