Gingerbread Biscotti

If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect hostess gift, holiday party favor, or you just want some festive cookies that keep very well, here are these delectable gingerbread biscotti.

Dunking perfection.  Coffee lovers need no further explanation.

I have long been making my usual Double Chocolate Biscotti for holiday gift-giving and for my own coffee dunking bliss. But this year, I wanted to try out these gingerbread biscotti.  Wowzers!

Gingerbread equals holidays. And since I’ve already made loads of these super chewy and soft Chewy Soft Ginger Cookies, it was time to let the cookie pendulum swing to the other side – the crisp side…

Gingerbread Biscotti are Crispy and Crunchy

I know.  If you read any of my cookie posts, it’s no secret that I’m weak in the knees for chewy and soft cookies.

But.  If any cookie must be crispy and crunchy, it’s name has to be Biscotti.  Biscotti were born to be crispy, so they can hold up to a phenomenal dunking party with hot cocoa or coffee.

One dunk into your favorite morning (or evening) joe, and these Gingerbread Biscotti are ready to melt in your mouth.  It literally and immediately melts into your sweet tooth, one happy dunk after another.

These Crispy Biscotti are Great for Gift Giving

Biscotti are one of my favorite treats to give away, because they keep…forever?   At least they keep well for several weeks, and that might as well be forever in cookie-years.

These Gingerbread Biscotti are perfectly crisp, flavorful, and they dunk like magic.

Ingredients  

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. 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.

    I made these this week and dipped/drizzled with white chocolate. They are so yummy and beautiful that we are giving them as gifts!

      Agreed, Kristen! Marry Christmas

    • Lisa

    I really like nuts in my biscotti. Have you made the gingerbread biscotti with nuts before? How much would you recommend putting in?

      • chewoutloud

      Hi, Lisa! Yes, I’ve used nuts in biscotti before – really yummy! This one would be great with slivered almonds or chopped pecans. I’d recommend about 1/2 cup to start with 🙂 Enjoy and happy holidays!

    • Tara

    These were absolutely perfect! Love all the spice and the white chocolate drizzle.

    • Ariel Flores

    Can I make them with just all purpose flour?

      • chewoutloud

      Hi, Ariel! My guess is you can do it with AP flour. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and thanks for writing! 🙂

  • Share this post with a cookie lover! 🍪 These sugar cookies are HUGE and dangerously delicious! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/best-big-soft-sugar-cookies/) Ingredients: 6 cups all purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon table salt 1 cup whole sour cream 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 4 large eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon almond extract For the Frosting: 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 3 cups confectioners' sugar ½ tsp almond extract ½ tsp vanilla extract ⅛ tsp salt 2 TB milk Instructions: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, and almond extract until well combined. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the sour cream mixture until fully combined. The dough will be somewhat sticky. Cover the bowl, and chill the dough in the fridge for an hour or until it is firm enough to roll out. Lightly flour a working surface. Divide the chilled dough into quarters, and roll out one quarter at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the fridge until ready to use. Roll each quarter to ¼ inch thickness, and use a cookie cutter 2-inch in diameter to cut out circles. Preheat the oven to 250F, and position the rack on the lower middle position. Arrange the cookie dough on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden-pale color. Do not overbake! Cool on the cookie sheet 10-15 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the butter for 3-4 minutes or until it is light and fluffy. Add the sugar, and continue to whisk until well combined. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk on medium-high speed until fully incorporated. Add one tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. If desired, whisk in food coloring.

  • Save this post for your Christmas parties! 🎄 Just 3 ingredients make these buttery, moist and insanely delicious cookies! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/3-ingredient-buttery-shortbread-cookies/) Ingredients: 2 cups salted butter, cold and cut into pieces 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed 4 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided Optional: sprinkles to suit any occasion throughout the year Instructions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar. Using paddle attachment on medium-high speed, mix until fluffy and light, several minutes. Add only 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. On a large board, sprinkle 1/2 cup flour to keep dough from sticking to the board. Use rubber spatula to transfer dough to the board. Knead dough by hand for 5 minutes, adding only as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed to make a soft dough, while continuing to knead by hand. The dough should end up soft and pliable, similar to play-dough, not sticky. Work in desired amount of sprinkles, if using. Important Note: You may not end up using all the flour, depending on how your dough feels; it's important to stop adding flour as soon as your dough feels like soft play dough. Divide dough into thirds, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll and cut shapes. Meanwhile, reheat oven to 325F, with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside. Roll one-third of the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness – lightly flour board if needed. Either cut into 3×1 rectangular strips, triangles, or use cookie cutters (I like 1-2" cookie cutters, but feel free to use your favorites). Place each cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Poke cookies with fork on top for a design, if not using sprinkles. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. For smaller cookies, bake closer to 15 minutes; bake longer for larger shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough, working in batches so dough stays chilled and workable. Cool completely on wire rack before serving.
