Butter Pecan Biscotti are a classic Italian cookie that have gained popularity worldwide. These crunchy, twice-baked cookies are loaded with butterscotch chips and pecans for a sweet and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. While biscotti may seem intimidating to make, they are actually quite simple to prepare. This recipe makes a large batch of cookies, so you can keep them on hand for snacking or gift-giving.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.
4.On a floured surface, shape the dough into two logs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
5.Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Let cool completely, then drizzle with melted butterscotch chips and serve.
