• Cover dough with waxed paper; refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Dip your hands into a small bowl of water. Shape the dough into two loaves that are 1 inch high, 3 to 4 inches wide, and 10 inches long, Place each loaf onto a baking sheet; top with pumpkin seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are dry, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Transfer loaves to a flat work surface. Cut each into 10 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch thick. Place sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, ½ cup (100 G) sugar, the salt, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder. Cream with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
