Gingerbread Biscotti
I think I've said it before, but it's worth repeating – cookies are one of my favorite recipes to create. These Ginger Biscotti are my favorite Biscotti (of a couple different ones) that I've created so far. What is your favorite cookie?
Do you have a cookie that reminds you of a certain time of year? Like a certain cookie from a family cookie swap or anything like that? Gingerbread makes me think of Christmas. So do Snowball cookies. And Nanaimo Bar. Good thing Christmas is my favorite holiday!!
If you need a new Christmas/winter cookie for your holiday cookie tray, this one is a perfect option. It's nice and crunchy, easy to put together, has comforting warm flavors of cinnamon and allspice, and looks pretty fancy when you set out a plate for guests. If you want to make them look a little more fancy, make up a simple icing with powdered sugar, milk and maybe even a sprinkle of cinnamon and decorate them. Or dip an end and pop some cute little gingerbread people sprinkles on – so cute for the holidays!!
Hope you love this recipe too. Let me know if you make them, I'd love to see 🙂

These are phenomenal! I didn't have allspice on hand so subbed nutmeg instead, and they were still delicious. The colour is beautiful, they aren't too crunchy, and they aren't overly sweet. I will be adding a white chocolate drizzle once they cool. Thank you so much for this recipe. Looking forward to baking these as presents to drop off for my family this Christmas!
I’m so glad you liked these, they are one of my faves. Good to know you were able to swap the spices. Thanks for the comment Rebecca!
