Preheat oven to 300. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt,
baking soda, and nutmeg until well mixed. In a separate medium bowl,
combine sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add
coconut flakes, and stir until evenly distributed. Add the dry ingredients
to the egg mixture, mixing well. Heavily flour a board, and turn out
biscotti dough, kneading 7-8 times. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to

coconut flakes.
