Lemon or Lime and Macadamia Biscotti image

A lightly flavoured Biscotti with the crunch of macadamia nuts. These nuts are supposed to be very good for you so I tell myself I am eating healthy :) This recipe was one among my "Healthy Recipe Cards". I love these with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea.
