PREP TIME 15 MIN. – COOK TIME 45 MIN. – REST TIME 20 MIN. READY IN 1 HOUR 20 MIN. – SERVINGS 24 COOKIES


2¼ cups flour ½ cup sugar ½ cup dark brown sugar 2 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp ground ginger


tsp ground cloves


3 large eggs 2 tbsp crystallized ginger 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 2 (3.5 oz) bars dark chocolate


STEP 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and spices together. STEP 2 In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 of the eggs and chop the crystallized ginger. Stir in melted butter with eggs and ginger. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and knead until smooth dough forms. STEP 3 Add half the dough to a large parchment- lined baking sheet and shape into an 11x2-inch log. Repeat with the remaining dough. Use a fork to beat the last egg with 2 tsp water. Brush tops and sides of the logs with the egg wash. STEP 4 Bake logs for about 25 min., or until golden brown and firm. Remove from oven, and let cool on the baking sheet for 20 min. STEP 5 Place 1 cookie log on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the warm cookie log into ½-inch thick diagonal slices. Place slices on the baking sheet; repeat with the remaining cookie log. STEP 6 Bake slices for 18–20 min., flipping halfway through. Remove from heat and let cool completely, until biscotti hardens. Meanwhile, break the chocolate bars and melt them in the microwave. Cook-times will vary; go slowly, stirring the chocolate every 30 seconds. STEP 7 Dip ¼ of each biscotti into the melted chocolate, then lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set. When completely cooled, store in a tightly-covered container.
