Ingredients:
1 c. sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/3 c. slivered almonds
1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 T. apple cider
2 egg whites
1 egg
1/3 c. nonfat sour cream
2 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
 

Directions:
Combine the first 12 ingredients (sugar through sour cream) in a large mixing bowl and beat with a mixer at a low speed for 1 minute. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the large mixing bowl, beating until the dough is well-blended and soft.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 16-inch roll. Carefully place the roll on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray. Flatten the roll until it is approximately 3/4-inch thick.

Bake the roll at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully loosen the edges of the roll with a metal spatula. Invert the baking sheet on a wire rack and allow the roll to cool for 10 minutes. Cut the roll into 3/4-inch slices.

If you like your biscotti hard, return the slices to baking sheet and bake an additional 10 minutes on each side
