Marietta's Butterscotch Bourbon Biscotti

These biscotti are not too sweet and easy to make. You do not have to use the bourbon but it does give it a little something extra. You can also drizzle melted butterscotch on them, but remember that will make them sweeter.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk sugar and 3 eggs together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl; add to egg mixture and stir until smooth dough forms. Fold in butterscotch chips and pecans.

Step 4

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 2-inch wide by 9-inch long log; place on baking sheet. Brush logs with beaten egg.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Cool until firm, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Cut each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices on a work surface; place slices, cut-side down, on baking sheet.

Bake in oven until tops are golden, about 10 minutes. Invert slices and bake until tops are golden, about 10 minutes more.
