Peanut Butter Pecan Biscotti

Another tasty biscotti recipe! Buttery and golden....just perfect for when you'd just like something special. The pecans add a nice crunch.

Modified recipe from Joy the Baker

•  4 T. butter, softened
• 1/3 C. peanut butter
• 3/4 C. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 C. flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 C. pecans

Combine dry ingredients. Cream butters and sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture. It will form a stiff ball of dough. (I like to use my hands to work it all together.)

Divide the dough in half and place on a greased baking sheet. Shape each half of dough into a 9-inch long and 1 1/2-inch wide log.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes. Flip the baking sheet around for even baking and bake for 20-25 more minutes until golden and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven but keep the oven on. Let biscotti cool until able to handle. Using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/2-inch wide diagonal slices. Place biscotti cut side down on baking sheet. Bake again until pale golden, about 10-15 minutes.

Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
