Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, ½ cup (100 G) sugar, the salt, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder. Cream with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
• Add the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree and beat to combine.
• Add the flour and beat just to incorporate. Fold in the pepitas and cranberries with a rubber spatula.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 12 x 5-inch (30 x 12 cm) rectangle about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the top of the dough.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the dough is firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes. The log should be just warm enough to touch. If it cools too much, it will be difficult to slice.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice the log into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick pieces. Arrange the pieces, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the tops begin to crisp. Flip the biscotti over and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until the other side crisps. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted and smooth.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dip the bottom half of each biscotti in the melted white chocolate, then place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 20 minutes.
• Enjoy!
