How to Make Maple Pecan Biscotti
Combine ingredients to make the cookie dough, then fold in the pecans. Shape the dough into a log and bake. Slice the log to make individual biscotti cookies, and let them cool before serving.
Ingredient Notes
Butter: The base of our biscotti– it adds richness and helps hold the dough together. Make sure the butter is fully softened so it incorporates smoothly with the sugar. Brown Sugar: Sweetens the biscotti. If you have maple sugar on hand, swap it for the brown sugar for an even stronger maple flavor. Maple Syrup: Adds sweetness and maple flavor to the biscotti. Eggs: Help bind the biscotti dough together. Vanilla: Enhances the sweetness and flavor of the maple. Flour: Gives the dough structure. Make sure to measure using the spoon-and-level method, as adding too much flour will result in a crumbly dough. Baking Powder: Helps the biscotti dough rise. Pecans: Add a bit of crunch and saltiness to the biscotti.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
We recommend quickly toasting/roasting your pecans to enhance their decadent flavor. For best results, toast them whole before chopping them into coarse pieces. You can easily divide the dough to make smaller biscotti or to increase the number of cookies you want to make. Just ensure that you shorten the baking time by about 5 minutes.
Make these maple pecan biscotti for your next morning coffee, afternoon tea time, or nighttime snack. Their maple flavor will surely get you in the cozy fall spirit, no matter the time of year!
