White Chocolate Biscotti

This is a great cookie to make if you don't want to use butter or margarine. I substitute half apple sauce for half of the oil to make it even more low fat. These are great half dipped in melted chocolate.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
¾ cup oil
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups + 1 Tbsp flour
½ cup white chocolate chips
cinnamon and sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs, oil and sugar. Add baking powder, vanilla, flour and chips. Form 2 loaves. Bake 20-25 minutes. Cut up into 1 inch slices and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake another 5 minutes on each side to brown.
