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.)

These biscotti were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some chocolate chips next time.

These biscotti were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be perfect for people who like their desserts on the sweeter side.
