Gingerbread Biscotti. Enjoy this holiday biscotti recipe with a warm cup of coffee for the perfect morning treat!
I am in full holiday baking mode.
Making neighbor cookie trays is a tradition we look forward to every single year.
I love compiling a list of cookie recipe ideas and having my six year old help pick three or four “winners.” He loooooves our baking day. It is a chance for both of us to bond in the kitchen and for him to share some of his not-so-helpful baking hints.
This year we both agreed on a top cookie recipe to share:
Gingerbread Biscotti
Baking these twice is what gives these their crunchy texture. Try dipping them in cocoa or coffee to soften them up or enjoy as is!

Gingerbread Biscotti
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1-1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 3/4 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until combined and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract.
-
Whisk together the flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix into your wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
-
Divide your dough into two equal parts. Shape each piece into a roll slightly shorter than the tray. Press down to 1/2 inch thickness. Bake for 25 minutes.
-
Let the cookies cool 15 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice 1/2 inch pieces and place flat onto your tray.
-
Bake 10 minutes on each side at 325 degrees.
