How to Make Butter Pecan Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and ribbons form when the beaters are lifted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Stir in 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1 cup pecans.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into an 8-inch long log. Smooth the tops and gently flatten.
- Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the logs are set and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board.
- Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into ½-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on an ungreased baking sheet, close together.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes.
- Flip each biscotti slice.
- Bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the remaining ½ cup butterscotch chips with 1 tablespoon shortening in a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle over the cooled biscotti.
