Coffee-Hazelnut Biscotti image

From "The Best of Cooking Light" ... but I've tweaked it to reflect my personal tastes. (The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of Frangelico; I've used two tablespoons of Kahlua. I've also chosen to use two eggs and one egg white, instead of two egg whites and one egg I like a slightly richer biscotti.)
