Sweet Potato Biscotti

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together all dry ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a medium sized bowl and set aside.

In a separate larger bowl cream together butter and sugars then add eggs and puree. Next add the dry ingredients into the wet. Last fold in the pecans.

Place dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat, and shape into a 15″x6″ log and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and place the log on a cooling rack. Let cool for 30 minutes or more. Then slice the log into 3/4″ to 1″ slices (your preference) and return the slices to the cookie sheet, bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and flip over and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool.

For icing mix powdered sugar with water, adding water one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency. Place in a doggie bag and snip off the corner, pipe icing on cooled cookies.
