Time 3h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and molasses in a bowl; mix with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Add vanilla and chopped ginger. Mix and mash with the whisk until ginger is evenly distributed and coated with the butter-sugar mixture, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients with a spatula until incorporated. Mix in remaining dry ingredients until dough is very wet and sticky.
  • Transfer dough to a long piece of plastic wrap, using a buttered knife to help if necessary. Wrap plastic around the dough and shape with your hands into a uniform log, about 12 to 14 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Wet your fingers and smooth out any edges.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove loaf from the oven, cover with a clean towel, and let sit for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Uncover the loaf and brush a little water around the bottom edge to soften. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 1/2-inch slices. Cut at an angle for longer biscotti, or straight across for shorter ones. Transfer slices back to the baking sheet.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip biscotti and cook until they are dry and crispy all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
  • Place melted white chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe over biscotti. Let sit until chocolate has cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes.

GINGERBREAD BISCOTTI



Gingerbread Biscotti image

These biscotti have the same warm spices and crispy-crunchy texture that you love in a traditional gingerbread person, but require less time and effort than the classic cutout cookie! Each one gets an extra dip of melted white chocolate and a sprinkle of sanding sugar, for a sparkly holiday treat fit for a cookie tin.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield about 24 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons gingerbread spice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Two 4-ounce bars white chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
White sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, gingerbread spice, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is thoroughly combined with the dry ingredients and the mixture looks sandy. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the molasses, vanilla, eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir into the flour mixture until a crumbly dough forms. Press together and knead into a moist, uniform dough.
  • Divide the dough in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Shape the dough into two 10-by-2-inch logs, keeping 3 inches between the logs. If the dough is sticky, splash a couple drops of water on your hands and continue shaping. Bake until the outside is set but the inside is still slightly soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice 1/2 inch thick on the bias with a serrated knife. Return the slices to the baking sheet, slat-side down, and bake, flipping the slices halfway through, until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool.
  • Once the biscotti are cool, combine the white chocolate and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Dip half of each biscotti at an angle in the white chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Return to the wire rack, then refrigerate until just set, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the remaining white chocolate mixture into a small piping bag or resealable bag, then snip the tip or corner with kitchen shears to create a small hole. Drizzle the white chocolate at an angle across the dipped end of each biscotti, drizzling in the opposite direction to create a crisscross pattern. Return to the wire rack, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate until all the chocolate is completely set, about 10 minutes. The biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will make the baking process much smoother and easier.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it whenever possible. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough, so be careful not to overwork it. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes before slicing and baking.
  • Bake the Biscotti Until They Are Dry: The biscotti should be baked until they are dry and crispy. This will ensure that they will keep well. Bake the biscotti for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Dip the Biscotti in Chocolate: Drizzle the biscotti with melted chocolate for a delicious and decadent treat. You can use any type of chocolate you like, but dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate works best.

Conclusion:

Drizzled gingerbread biscotti are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be stored for up to two weeks. These biscotti are also a great gift idea. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive treat, give these drizzled gingerbread biscotti a try.
