Description
This Gingerbread Biscotti recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic Italian twice-baked cookie, infused with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs, molasses, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add olive oil and vanilla extract, then continue beating for another minute.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Bring the dough together with your hands.
- Lightly flour a surface and transfer the dough onto it. Shape into a rectangular log and roll into a 10×6 inch rectangle, about ½ inch thick. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the biscotti cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into ¾-inch slices.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300ºF (150ºC). Place the sliced biscotti upright on their cut sides on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until crisp.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- These biscotti are great for dunking into coffee or hot chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
