Lemon or Lime and Macadamia Biscotti

Jen T's Note:

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.

11. When cold store in an airtight container.
