Why This Recipe Stands Out We love a good biscotti, especially during the holiday season. They’re one of our favorite holiday cookies and here’s why we think you’ll love them: Perfectly Crunchy: These Gingerbread biscotti are perfectly crisp, flavorful, and everything you can hope from a biscotti, just like our Almond Biscotti Recipe. Incredible Flavor: The combination of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg is a holiday classic, like these Chewy White Chocolate Cranberry Bars.

Way Easier Than People Think: These biscotti are incredibly easy to make cookies that everyone will love! Stays Crisp: These biscotti will stay crisp for up to a month in your pantry when stored airtight. Key Recipe Ingredients Real Molasses – Molasses is the key to the gingerbread flavor of these biscotti. It adds a rich, robust sweetness that is essential for achieving that classic gingerbread flavor. Ginger – It wouldn’t be gingerbread without the star ingredient. We’ve used a generous amount of ground ginger for a lovely, warming heat. Flour – We use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to give these biscotti a hearty, slightly nutty flavor and a sturdy texture. Melted White Chocolate – This is optional but highly recommended! It makes the biscotti look festive and adds a sweet contrast to the spiced gingerbread flavor. Substitutions And Variations Here are some of our favorite variations and substitution ideas: Nuts: While we don’t add nuts to this recipe, feel free to mix in some chopped almonds, pecans, or even pistachios for added crunch. Dried Fruit: You can also add some dried cranberries or other dried fruit to customize these biscotti. Different Chocolate: Instead of white chocolate, you can drizzle the biscotti with dark or milk chocolate. Or dip one end of the biscotti in melted chocolate for a sweeter treat.

Shape the dough into logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes at 375F. Let it cool slightly, then cut the logs into diagonal slices. Place the sliced biscotti on its side and bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake for another 7-8 minutes. Let the biscotti cool completely. Drizzle with melted white chocolate or icing if desired. For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below.

These Gingerbread Biscotti have a satisfying crunch and are delicious when dunked in coffee, tea, or milk! Commonly Asked Questions Why do I need to let the biscotti cool before slicing and baking them again? Allow the biscotti to cool after the first bake so that they firm up. This makes them easier to slice without crumbling. The second bake is what gives biscotti their characteristic dry and crispy texture. Why did my biscotti come out too hard? Biscotti may come out too hard if they are over-baked. Make sure to follow the baking times and keep an eye on them, especially during the second bake after slicing. They should feel dry and just start to turn crispy. How long does gingerbread biscotti keep? Gingerbread biscotti can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and molasses, combining well. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Whisk dry ingredients together to incorporate. Mix dry ingredients together with butter mixture, and continue to work it until a thick dough forms.Divide dough in half. Shape each half into logs about 12×3 inches. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Pat each log down to about 1/2 inch thick.Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven (still keep oven on,) and allow it to cool enough to handle.Using a sharp bread knife, cut each log into 3/4 inch thick diagonal slices. Place each sliced biscotti on its side, and bake about 7-8 minutes. Turn each cookie over and bake another 7-8 minutes or until cookies feel dry and are turning crispy.Let cool completely to room temp. If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or your choice of icing. Notes Always use room temperature eggs, as they will mix more easily into the batter and help the biscotti to rise properly. When shaping the dough into logs, slightly wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers. This also helps to give the biscotti a smoother, more even texture. After the first bake, allow the logs to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will make them easier to cut and will give you neater, more even slices. Make sure to keep an eye on the biscotti as they bake for the second time. They can go from perfectly crispy to overly brown in a short time.
