Polenta Biscotti

Biscottis are one of my favorites for a  coffe or tea I love dip them in tea, is like a cookie but not at all is better I think, and the best each biscotti only have 58 calories (this recipe) others you can add chocolatte chips or almonds etc.
But I think that I love these only with the polenta:)
