Did you know that today is National Gingerbread Cookie Day?? And what a perfect time of year it is, for all things gingerbread, amiright?? The molasses. The spices. The aroma that just says, the holidays are here. And how fun are gingerbread biscotti, dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles?!?

Just imagine having one of these to dunk in your coffee in the morning, or as part of an afternoon pick-me-up with a mug of hot tea. Ahhhh. Pure bliss, I tell ya!

These gingerbread biscotti took a little longer than some to bake, but let me tell you – they are worth the wait. I love the gorgeous color of gingerbread baked goods, and when these are dipped into white chocolate, it just makes that color pop all the more.

Put a few in a pretty glass jar or wrap in a pretty plastic bag with festive ribbon, and you have a gorgeous and delicious hostess or teacher gift, ready to go! You could pair with a bag of coffee or a box of tea bags, for a little extra something!

How to make Gingerbread Biscotti:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt; set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl, if using a hand mixer), add the brown sugar and applesauce and mix until combined. Add the eggs and molasses and mix well.
4. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the dry mixture, and mix until just combined. My mixture was pretty sticky, so don’t be surprised by that.
5. Onto your prepared baking sheet, divide the dough into 2 loaves, shaping each loaf into a rectangle about 4 inches wide and 9 inches long*. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may be able to put both of one, just give them space to spread a bit. Otherwise, use two baking sheets. Bake for 35 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
6. Starting at one short end of the loaves, cut into ¾” pieces, and lay flat on your baking sheet(s). Bake for an additional 15 minutes, until nice and crunchy.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
8. Once biscotti have cooled completely, melt your white chocolate morsels and oil in a wide and shallow, microwave safe dish. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between sessions, until chocolate is almost completely melted. Then just keep stirring until all melted.
9. If using sprinkles, you will want to have them in a bowl or dish that is easy for you to grab or dip into.
10. Lay out a sheet of wax or parchment paper (I prefer wax paper for this step), Melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a bowl in the microwave. Dip one side of each biscotti into the melted chocolate, coating that side completely. Then immediately dip into sprinkles or use hand to sprinkle onto coated side, then lay on the wax paper to dry. Repeat until all biscotti are decorated to your liking!
11. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. These make great teacher or hostess gifts, too!

Can you freeze Gingerbread Biscotti:

You sure can!

To freeze before baking: Form your dough into the two loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, then place into a large resealable plastic bag. Remove excess air, seal, and freeze. Just set out to defrost for about half an hour (up to an hour, if needed) before baking.

To freeze after baking: Place the cooled, baked biscotti in a resealable freezer safe bag or container. Set them out for 30 minutes – 1 hour before ready to serve. I recommend freezing the baked biscotti without the white chocolate coating and doing that part,along with the sprinkles, when you are ready to serve them!

Notes

*If the mixture is too sticky or hard to handle and shape, you may want to put some flour on your hands and/or sprinkle on top of the loaves to prevent them from sticking to YOU, too much while you’re shaping them.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
