Gingerbread biscotti



Again - refer to classic biscotti d'anice recipe for detailed instructions about forming/baking/slicing/rebaking biscotti - unless you know the trick already! :)

Preheat oven to 350ยบ - line a couple baking sheets with parchment.

In a large mixing bowl, combine and mix together:

3 Tblsp. melted butter
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 C. molasses
3 large eggs

1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. apple pie spice
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
3-3/4 C. flour

Mix well. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.  Pat into rectangles (2" wide, 1/3" high) leaving a couple inches between rectangles... 2 rectangles per sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm.  Remove from oven, let sit 5 minutes.  With a sharp knife, cut into 1/2" slices.  Lay all the slices onto their sides - replace into oven and bake another 10-15 minutes, depending on how firm you like them.

Once they're cool, enjoy as is, or melt some white chocolate & drizzle over the tops or dip the whole darned biscotti into the chocolate.  I do the drizzling in a VERY sophisticated manner by melting the white chocolate in the microwave on a paper plate, scraping it into a plastic bag, cutting a teeny bit off the tip and quickly squeezing it onto the biscotti.   :D
