With the added indulgence of white chocolate, each bite offers a harmonious blend of warmth and sweetness, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the finely chopped or grated ginger root and the white chocolate. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a log about 10-12 inches long and 3-4 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
- After the logs have cooled slightly, use a serrated knife to slice them diagonally into ½-inch thick slices. Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through to ensure even baking, until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Once baked, transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool, achieving the desired biscotti-like crunch.
- Serve your double ginger biscotti with your favorite hot beverage, or store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before you start. This makes it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Grating the ginger root finely ensures it distributes evenly throughout the dough, giving uniform flavor in every bite.
- When mixing the dough, do not overwork it as this can make the biscotti too tough.
- Shape the dough into a log with damp hands to prevent sticking and achieve a smoother surface.
- For the first bake, the log should be firm and golden brown before slicing.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the biscotti for neat, clean slices.
- For an extra crisp biscotti, you can bake them a bit longer during the second bake, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Store your biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
Double ginger biscotti is a perfect combination of spice and sweet, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
