HI Aunt Yochana,

I have been visiting your blog almost everyday to find new updates and recipes... Been trying a few of your recipes and turn out to be good... I would love to make this almond biscotti as I believe it is quite healthy as they are using egg whites except for the sugar which is not so healhy... Would you be able to share the step by step procedures and recipes with me...

Many thanks.

i always have prob when making cookies using egg white. Be it almond biscotti or almond sliced cookies. Instead of crispy it turned out to be chewy. Once it came out from the oven or even when it completely cool, it still chewy. Why is that so? Is it because i used cold or leftover egg whites? Kindly advice. Thank you

Hi sing,

I think it's the overmixing that causes it to be chewy.
