Low in fat and calories, crunchy, satisfying biscotti are the perfect cookie for today's "light" way of eating. Whether you dunk them in a steaming cup of coffee in a crowded cafe, savor them with wine by firelight, or relax in the afternoon with a plateful and a mug of hot tea, you'll want this outstanding collection of tempting delights.
Biscotti are easy to make, and Maria Robbins has developed more than 50 biscotti recipes that feature only the most tantalizing flavor combinations. Besides biscotti, this book also features an array of addictive meringue cookies that have no fat and fewer calories (only 15 to 20 calories per cookie), and a handful of savory low-fat cookies that contain no sugar.
