Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with pumpkin puree and vanilla extract; stir in pecans. Pour in the dry ingredients, and stir to make a stiff dough. Divide the dough in half, and form each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; remove to a work surface and slice the logs into individual cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Use a sharp knife and a light sawing motion to cut up the cookies. Place the cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the cookies to the oven, and bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes; turn the cookies over and bake until crisp, another 8 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh pumpkin puree and pecans will yield the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing will result in tough biscotti. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to slice and shape.
- Bake the Biscotti Twice: The first bake will dry out the biscotti and the second bake will give them a crispy texture.
- Store Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
