I made a batch of these and gave them to my two roommates and my fiancé for Valentine's Day. They were pretty impressed. (So was I.)
You'll need:
2.5 c. flour
1 c. sugar
a pinch of salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. ground ginger
1/4 t. allspice
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1 t. vanilla
8 oz white baking chocolate
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Separately, combine the eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough.
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Form a large rectangle that extends the length of the baking sheet but is only about 4-5 inches wide (and about an inch thick).
Bake about 30 minutes. Remove to cool for about 10 minutes.
Cut into the log diagonally to make about 1/2 inch wide pieces with a serrated knife. Put them bak onto the baking sheet with one of the cut sides down and bake for 10-15 more minutes until firm.
Melt your white chocolate over low heat. It should thicken to become a texture similar to frosting. Use a knife to spread the melted chocolate onto one side of the biscotti. Chill until set, about 30 minutes.
THEN EAT THEM. because seriously they're so super good.
