Gingerbread Hazelnut Biscotti image

My biscotti won a blue ribbon at our county fair. It even changed my best friend's mind about biscotti, which she thought was nothing more than stale bread. They have a great gingerbread flavor and are crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center. -Karen Pavlov, Canfield, Ohio
