These light and crunchy Pecan Toffee Biscotti are prepared with toffee bits, toasted pecans, and warming ground cinnamon. Left plain, these biscotti are perfect just the way they are. Optionally, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate and top them with more toffee bits. This biscotti is perfect for the holidays because that's when calories don't count!

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
1/3 cup toffee bits

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder until well combined and creamy.
Next, add the eggs and beat them into the batter until well mixed.
Now, add the flour, pecans, and toffee bits. Beat in until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a log. (Dust your hands with flour; dough is a bit sticky!)
Form the log into a rectangle shape that is roughly 4" wide and 12" long.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack so that air can circulate around the baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, reduce the heat to 325°F.
Using the parchment paper, slide the log onto a large cutting board. Slice into 3/4" slices across the width of the log.
Place slices back onto the baking sheet which has been lined with more parchment paper. Slices are cut side down. Bake for 12 minutes.
Remove from oven. Carefully turn the cookies over and bake for another 12 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to wire cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
Package biscotti for gift-giving or pile into a food-safe container. Leave at room temperature, or freeze until needed for up to 3 months.
