Cran-Nutty Mini Biscuits
The top of these biscuits looks like they are covered in cranberry-colored confetti.

2 cups Baking Mix plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cranberries
1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts

• Spray two baking sheets with nonfat cooking spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl stir together the egg whites, sweet baking mix, almond extract, mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons cranberries.

• With your fingers sprinkle the cranberry/walnut mixture on tops of the biscuits.
• Gently press the cranberries and walnuts into the biscuits to help them adhere.
