White Chocolate Pumpkin Biscotti by The Redhead Baker

Pumpkin biscotti is a little more tender than traditional Italian biscotti. Pair with a warm cup of coffee for brunch or a light snack.

It’s my favorite time of year — Pumpkin Week! I teamed up with a group of food bloggers to share all kinds of pumpkin recipes, including drinks, savory recipes, sweet recipes — even dog treats!

Today's post is one of my favorite cookies: white chocolate pumpkin biscotti. These are a bit more tender than traditional Italian biscotti, as well as slightly more moist. Unlike most American cookies, however, they are not overly sweet.

Biscotti means "baked twice," so these do take a bit more time than regular drop cookies. Be sure to bake these all the way through on the first bake (and the best way to ensure they do is to use an oven thermometer to guarantee your temperature is correct). If you slice the logs with still-raw dough in the middle, your slices will collapse.

Even with a fully-baked log, you'll still need to take care when slicing the logs and transferring the slices. I used a spatula to transfer three slices at a time back to the baking sheet. The pumpkin makes these extra-tender when warm, and they are prone to breaking if not fully supported.

As I said, they are slightly more moist than traditional Italian biscotti. They are still delicious when dunked in coffee, but they don't NEED to be dunked the way Italian biscotti does.

These would also make a delicious hostess gift. Stored in airtight container in a cool, dry place, they will last for up to 4 weeks, but I guarantee these cookies will be eaten far more quickly than that!
