Gingerbread Biscotti Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

6. Fold in the chopped pecans or almonds until evenly distributed in the dough.

7. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log, about 12 inches long and 1 inch high, on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between the logs for spreading.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown and set.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes.

10. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1-inch thick biscotti.

11. Place the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through, until they are dried and crispy.

12. Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

13. Serve your homemade Gingerbread Biscotti alongside a steaming cup of coffee or hot cocoa for the ultimate cozy treat. Enjoy the aromatic blend of spices and the satisfying crunch of these delightful biscotti!
