Pumpkin Pie Biscotti

Makes about 96

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup mashed canned pumpkin
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1-1/4 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl; stir well. In another bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla, stirring well with a wire whisk. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. (Mixture will be very crumbly; it will gradually become moist after stirring.) Melt butter n a large skillet over medium heat; add macadamia nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until nuts are browned. Remove from heat and cool completely. Knead or gently stir cooled nuts into dough. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. Lightly flour hands and shape each portion into a 1 x 15" long log. Place logs 3" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 23 minutes; cool logs 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2" slices using a serrated knife. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.

These are awesome, I had to bake them a bit longer the second time around to make sure they came out crunchy. These are addictive!!! Excellent with a cup of coffee, good enough for breakfast!! five stars

I just made these with a few modifications. I used 3 tsp of pumpkin spice and 3/4 cup of pumpkin. I found it best to get in there with your hands to work the dough. I also added an egg wash to give the tops a nice shine. Baked the logs at 350 for 25 min. and each side for 10 min at 325. They may seem a tad soft when removed from the oven, but they harden as they cool. Great recipe..thanks! four stars

Unbelievable! I cannot believe how incredably wonderful these are! They were easy to make and I didn't need to change the recipe. I used pecans instead and it was almost like eating pumpkin pie, but better. five stars
