Time 3h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and molasses in a bowl; mix with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Add vanilla and chopped ginger. Mix and mash with the whisk until ginger is evenly distributed and coated with the butter-sugar mixture, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients with a spatula until incorporated. Mix in remaining dry ingredients until dough is very wet and sticky.
  • Transfer dough to a long piece of plastic wrap, using a buttered knife to help if necessary. Wrap plastic around the dough and shape with your hands into a uniform log, about 12 to 14 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Wet your fingers and smooth out any edges.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove loaf from the oven, cover with a clean towel, and let sit for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Uncover the loaf and brush a little water around the bottom edge to soften. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 1/2-inch slices. Cut at an angle for longer biscotti, or straight across for shorter ones. Transfer slices back to the baking sheet.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip biscotti and cook until they are dry and crispy all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
  • Place melted white chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe over biscotti. Let sit until chocolate has cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes.
