Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Crystallized ginger (chopped)
- 0.75 cup White chocolate chips (for melting and drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger.
Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each portion into a log about 10-12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Flatten the tops slightly with your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Transfer the logs to a cutting board and, using a sharp serrated knife, slice diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick cookies.
Place the slices back on the baking sheet, cut side up, and return to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip them over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until dry and crisp.
Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled biscotti using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing.
Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
