Ingredients

• 2.5 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground nutmeg
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cloves
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) ground ginger
• 0.75 Cup white sugar
• 0.25 Cup butter, softened
• 0.25 Cup brown sugar
• 2 Whole eggs
• 0.5 Cup pumpkin puree
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) molasses
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) pumpkin seeds, optional

Steps

1. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger in a large bowl.
2. In another bowl, beat the white sugar, butter, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and crumbly. Add the eggs and beat for 1 minute. Mix in the pumpkin puree, molasses, and vanilla extract until well blended, about 1 minute.
3. Gradually blend in the flour mixture using the mixer or a wooden spoon until the dough is sticky and well incorporated.
4. Cover the dough with waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Wet your hands with water and shape the dough into two loaves, each 1 inch high, 3 to 4 inches wide, and 10 inches long. Place each loaf on a baking sheet and top with pumpkin seeds if desired.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are dry, about 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
8. Transfer the loaves to a flat work surface and cut each into 10 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch thick. Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet.
9. Continue baking until light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and bake until dry, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Cook's Note: For extra crisp biscotti, lower the oven temperature to 170°F (75°C) and allow the biscotti to remain in the oven for another 40 minutes. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside for 1 hour.
