These biscotti are not too sweet and easy to make. You do not have to use the bourbon but it does give it a little something extra. You can also drizzle melted butterscotch on them, but remember that will make them sweeter.

Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup coarsely chopped butterscotch chips
- ¾ cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk sugar and 3 eggs together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
- Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl; add to egg mixture and stir until smooth dough forms. Fold in butterscotch chips and pecans.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 2-inch wide by 9-inch long log; place on baking sheet. Brush logs with beaten egg.
- Bake in preheated oven until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Cool until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Cut each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices on a work surface; place slices, cut-side down, on baking sheet.
- Bake in oven until tops are golden, about 10 minutes. Invert slices and bake until tops are golden, about 10 minutes more.
