Pumpkin Biscotti Recipe: Crunchy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.13 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.13 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup butter, softened
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs eggs
• 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the white sugar, butter, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and crumbly. Beat in the eggs for 1 minute. Add the pumpkin puree, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined, about 1 minute. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until a sticky dough forms.
3. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. With wet hands, shape the dough into two loaves, each about 1 inch high, 3 to 4 inches wide, and 10 inches long. Place each loaf on the prepared baking sheets; sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are dry, approximately 20 to 24 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
7. Transfer the loaves to a flat surface. Using a serrated knife, slice each loaf into 10 diagonal pieces, each about ½ inch thick. Arrange the biscotti slices back on the baking sheets.
8. Bake until lightly golden brown, around 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Continue baking until completely dry, about 20 minutes longer. Let them cool on wire racks.
