You’ll Need:

Makes about 18 biscotti

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 of a teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 of a cup pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 of a cup white chocolate, melted

To Make:

Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine first five ingredients (all dry ingredients).

Combine pumpkin puree, eggs and vanilla extract in another bowl.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet and mix until well combined with stand or hand mixer.

Prep a working surface by dusting lightly with flour.

Shape dough into a long loaf shape.

Place on prepared baking sheet and gently press down with palm of hand to slightly flatten.

Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375 F, until outside of loaf feels crunchy.

Remove from oven and place biscotti loaf to side and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

Decrease temperature of oven to 300 Degrees F.

After biscotti loaf has cooled for 20 minutes, place on cutting board and cut into slices.

Place slices back on cookie sheet and bake for 10- 12 minutes on one side. Remove from oven, flip biscotti over and bake opposite side for 10 minutes or until cookies are baked through.

Allow biscotti to fully cool before drizzling with white chocolate.

Melt white chocolate and drizzle with a fork or frosting bag on cooled biscotti.

Let white chocolate drizzle harden before serving or packaging.

Biscotti will stay good for up to two weeks in airtight container.
