Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted sweet cream butter or light butter (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (or sugar of choice. If I were making these for me, I'd use stevia)
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large cage/hormone free, vegetarian fed eggs
- 1 teaspoon Butter Extract (rum or vanilla extracts are fine too)
- 2 cups 100% whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup crushed toffee bits
- 1 cup toasted pecans (chopped)
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil, measured solid (plus more if needed)

Directions
Step 1 | |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Add flours, baking powder, and salt to a small bowl, whisk together, and set aside. | |
Step 2 | |
Beat butters and sugars until fluffy, add eggs (one at a time) plus the butter extract and beat until they are well combined and the sugars have slightly dissolved. Slowly add in the flours, a little at a time, until well mixed. | |
Step 3 | |
Stir in toffee bits and about half of the pecans. Divide the dough into fourths and drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Shape each quarter into a log and smooth and pat until each log is about 7-8 inches long and ¾ of an inch thick. | |
Step 4 | |
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Using a serrated knife, diagonally cut the logs into ½ inch wide cookies. Place back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and return to the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. | |
Step 5 | |
When biscotti are cooled, add coconut oil to the white chocolate chips and melt in the microwave, stirring in 10-15 second intervals. Drizzle the cookies with the white chocolate and immediately sprinkle with the rest of the chopped pecans. | |
