Gingerbread Biscotti is easier to make than cookies!   These not too crunchy slices are topped with melted white chocolate and have that distinct snap of gingerbread!

Gingerbread Biscotti

What are Biscotti?

  • Biscotti are a twice baked Italian cookie.  They were originally developed as a cookie to send to family and troop membes due to the long shelf life.  You can bake these to a crunch or leave them slightly soft, which is the way that we prefer.  Either way,  put these next to a cup of tea at night and it’s a slice of heaven!

Ingredients for Biscotti –

(see recipe card below for details)

  • butter
  • brown sugar
  • eggs
  • molasses
  • flour
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
  • white chocolate

How to make Gingerbread Biscotti –

Step 1 – Make the dough.  Shape into a 11″ x 1/2″ log.  Perfect in it’s imperfection!

Step 2 – First bake :  Bake for about 20 minutes.  Cool for 15 minutes.  Slice into desired thickness of cookie. We like about 1/2″  thickness but thinner cookies are fine as well.  Just don’t go so thin that the cookie breaks.

Step 3 – Second bake. For a crunchier cookie bake 10 minutes on each side for a total of 20 minutes.  If you like a softer cookies we recommend 5 minutes on each side.

Step 4 – White chocolate drizzle!  Simply melt your white chocolate in the microwave.  We use a fork to get the perfect drizzle!  Put in the fridge for a few minutes to quickly solidify the white chocolate.
