Gingerbread Biscotti

I looked through over a dozen Gingerbread Biscotti Recipes and this looked to be the best.  And it was !

I’m not much of a dunker, but I’ve heard they’re excellent for dunking.

Ingredients

1/3 cup salted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs, room temperature

1/4 cup molasses

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tbsp plus 1/4 tsp, ground ginger

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Melted white chocolate for drizzling

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375.    Line cookie sheet with parchment paper

In a large bowl mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs and molasses.  Combine well. 

In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients.  Whisk dry ingredients together to incorporate. 

Mix dry ingredients into butter mixture and continue to work it until a thick dough forms

Divide dough in half.  Shape each half into logs on your parchment paper.  Logs should be roughly 12 x 3 inches.

Pat each log down until it is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Watch that the bottoms do not get overly brown.  

Remove  from oven and allow to cool enough to handle.

With a sharp serrated knife, cut each log into 3/4 inch thick slices.  

Turn each slice on its side and bake again for about 5-7  minutes.

Turn each cookie over and bake another 5-7 minutes.  Cookies should feel dry and look crispy.

Let cool completely to room temperature.

Drizzle with melted white chocolate.  (Don’t skip this step, they’re heavenly with the chocolate!)
