Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup white or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

          Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, making sure it's evenly shaped.

            First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm and lightly golden. Remove and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

              Slice the Biscotti: Once cooled, use a sharp knife to slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

                Second Bake: Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until they are crisp and golden.

                  Cool and Store: Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy them immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
