This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet.

Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
1/3 cup soy margarine or butter
2/3 cup sugar or natural sweetener
2 eggs (or egg equivalent)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 cup slivered almonds


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).

2. In a large bowl, cream the margarine/butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in the egg/egg replacer and vanilla. Mix in the flour & baking powder. Stir in the orange zest and almonds. Chill for 10 minutes. The dough will be very dry and stiff.

3. Divide the chilled dough in half and roll each half out into a slab about 2" thick. Place the slabs on lightly-oiled baking sheets & flatten slightly. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temp to 275F (135C).

4. Let the slabs cool for 10 minutes then cut each slab into 1/2-inch wide slices. Place the sliced biscotti on their sides on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until crisp and dry, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
