directions
Line rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside.

Divide dough into thirds. Pat into logs, each about 1/2-inch thick and 15 inches long. Place, about 2 inches apart, on prepared pans. Bake in center of 350 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes or until golden and just firm to the touch. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes.

Brush top of each biscotti with egg white and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon mixture. Return to 325 degrees F oven for about 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool completely on pans on racks.
