Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together the honey, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If using nuts, gently fold them into the dough along with the orange zest.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log roughly 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the baked logs into 1/2 inch thick slices at a slight angle.
-
Place the sliced biscotti cut side down back onto the baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden and crispy.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
