Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp ginger
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 cup ginger root
150g
2 tbsp brown sugar
30g
1 cup white chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Butter and Sugar Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the Spices and Vanilla:
- 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.
4. Incorporate the Eggs:
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
5. Add the Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
6. Fold in the Ginger and Chocolate:
- Carefully fold in the finely chopped or grated ginger root and the white chocolate. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Shape 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.
8. Initial Bake:
- 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.
9. Second Bake (for Biscotti Texture):
- 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.
10. Final Bake:
- 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.
11. Cooling:
- 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.
12. Serve and Enjoy:
- 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. The use of both ground and fresh ginger creates a depth of flavor that's complemented by the sweetness of white chocolate. Whether enjoyed with a cup of coffee, tea, or as a standalone treat, these biscotti bring the perfect touch of gourmet to your snack time. Try baking them yourself for a delicious homemade treat that's sure to impress.
