- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with non-stick spray or parchment.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, anise seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Whisk together egg equivalents, lemon zest and lemon juice and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Working on a floured surface, shape dough into two logs, each about 14 inches long and 1 ½ inches thick. Set the log on prepared baking sheet at least 4 inches apart (the dough will spread during baking).
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until firm to the touch. Transfer the logs to the rack to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Cut the logs diagonally into ½ inch thick slices, using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion. Stand the slices on their sides on the baking sheet and return to the oven.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing. Biscotti will crisp as they cool. Store in an air tight container up to one month.
