Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

There are few cookies that don't excite me, but biscotti have never been particularly high on my list. Perhaps it's due to the often stale, hermetically sealed versions I've had at airport coffee shops while in search of a desperation snack, but these homemade versions are definitely worth making. Using this slightly adapted recipe from Vanilla Garlic {adding a basic royal icing}, the sweetness of the pumpkin combined with the spiciness of cinnamon and ginger provided a delicious change from my normal cottage cheese and fruit breakfast. Plus, since I swore off the cloying pumpkin candles I used to burn, this is a great way to revisit the autumnal scent in a much more elevated way.
