Ingredients
Scale
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 large Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Gingerbread Spice
White Chocolate Chips for melting
Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your butter. Approx. 30 seconds is all it should take. Then chill it while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
- To a stand mixer bowl add the eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on low to combine.
- Placing a sifter over the bowl add in your all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and gingerbread spice.
- Use the paddle attachment to mix on low-medium until well combined. Scraping the edge of the bowl as you need to.
- Lightly flour your work surface and pour out the biscotti dough. The dough will be very sticky, so you’ll want a bit more than a dusting of flour on your work surface. Work the dough into a ball.
- Place the ball onto your prepared baking sheet and begin to shape it into a log shape. It shouldn’t be any taller than 3/4 inches. Even out the edges so it’s a uniform thickness all the way around.
- At this point, you can top the biscotti log with turbinado sugar if you want to. Up to you!
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. If you’re preparing 2 smaller loaves you can bake them for 20-25 minutes.
- Allow your biscotti log to cool completely before beginning the next step.
- Once cooled, use a large kitchen knife to slice straight down at a diagonal creating those signature biscotti cookie shapes.
- Place the cookies cut side down back onto the baking sheet, and bake once more for 15 – 18 minutes.
- Cool completely before serving, decorating, and storing.
- Prepare the white chocolate chips by microwaving them in a bowl on medium power for up to 2 minutes, checking and stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Either drizzle, drip, or dip into the white chocolate and top with sprinkles.
- How you decorate your biscotti is completely up to your creative eye.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving and storing.
