Biscotti

Chocolate Dip

1.

Combine melted butter, eggs, sugars, salt, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined and slightly thickened. Add pumpkin and whisk until combined.

2.

Sift  flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon, right into the same bowl. Fold well with a rubber spatula to form a dough. Stop folding as soon as no more dry streaks remain.

3.

Form  the dough into one large or two smaller loaves on parchment lined baking sheets. Use a rubber spatula and/or wet fingers to smooth the log.

4.

Bake  in preheated oven for 25-27 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of the log comes out clean. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 340°F (170°C).

5.

Once cool enough to touch, cut loaf into ¾” slices on a slight angle.

6.

Arrange cut side down onto the same baking sheet as before. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping at 15 minutes. Crack open the oven door and leave inside to cool overnight or take them out  of the oven to cool.

7.

Melt chocolate and butter. Dip one end of the cooled pumpkin biscotti into the chocolate one at a time, arranging them back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

They’re the perfect cookie mashup for fall and the holidays!
