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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Transfer the logs to a cutting board and, using a sharp serrated knife, slice diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick cookies.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled biscotti using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing.

Step 13

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
