Coconut-Macadamia Biscotti image

I came up with this recipe after my husband and I returned from our first trip to Hawaii. Dipping these tropical treats in a good cup of coffee brings us right back to the wonderful memories we made there. -Shannon Koene, Blacksburg, Virginia

This recipe is a keeper! The biscotti were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The coconut and macadamia nuts added a nice flavor and texture.
