Gingerbread Hazelnut Biscotti image

My biscotti won a blue ribbon at our county fair. It even changed my best friend's mind about biscotti, which she thought was nothing more than stale bread. They have a great gingerbread flavor and are crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center. -Karen Pavlov, Canfield, Ohio

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The hazelnut flavor really mellows out the gingerbread spices. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover gingerbread spices. I always have some leftover spices after I make gingerbread cookies, and these biscotti are a great way to use them up.

These biscotti are so easy to make! I love that I can just throw all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. They're also really versatile. I've added dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and even chocolate chips to them before.
