Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 6 ounces white chocolate, melted (for dipping)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, chopped white chocolate, softened butter, eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice until a stiff dough forms. The dough may appear somewhat dry, but fear not, as it will come together beautifully during baking.
-
Roll and Shape: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. You can choose to cut the dough into traditional biscotti shapes or follow the long, flattened log shape method for a more authentic biscotti appearance.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Bake: Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Unlike traditional biscotti recipes that require a second baking, these biscotti are only baked once for optimal texture and flavor.
-
Cool: Allow the baked biscotti to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they will become wonderfully crisp and crunchy, ready to be adorned with decadent white chocolate.
-
Dip in White Chocolate: Melt the remaining white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave using short bursts of heat, stirring frequently until smooth and melted. Dip each biscotti halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
-
Set and Enjoy: Place the dipped biscotti onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet or parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set. Once the chocolate has hardened, indulge in the divine combination of spicy ginger and creamy white chocolate with every delightful crunch!
