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.
