Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the bourbon and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the butterscotch chips and chopped nuts.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log, approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the biscotti upright on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Flip the biscotti over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
