Now that Halloween is behind us I feel like the official holiday season has begun. From now until January 1st 2019 everyone will get their fill of holiday lights, songs, holiday shopping, gift giving and receiving, plus plenty of opportunities to party.
One of my favorite things to do each year is bake up batches of gingerbread, and create Gingerbread Houses with families. Today I thought I’d make something a bit different – Gingerbread Biscotti.
Gingerbread Biscotti sounded like a good idea and it was, but I realized I’m not that big a fan of the stuff. I can take it in small doses but having some 36 Gingerbread Biscotti is a bit too much to handle. I dipped a few in dark chocolate, something I had on hand and drizzled some with white chocolate as well. I should have decorated some of them with royal icing which I’m pretty sure I would have loved. Unfortunately I was out of powdered sugar and didn’t have the time to get any. That will be for you to test out and report back to me.
If you’re a fan of gingerbread then I’m certain you’ll enjoy these Gingerbread Biscotti. Dip them in hot coffee or hot cocoa just enough to absorb some of the flavor, and indulge. YUM!!!
Biscotti, are an Italian almond biscuits that are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy, and may be dipped in a drink. Typically enjoyed for breakfast or afternoon tea. They always seem to be just the right amount to take the edge off when hunger pains arise. This version uses holiday spices unlike my Cranberry Orange Pistachio Biscotti which are simple and delicious!
Try my Gingerbread Biscotti for something different, or if preferring a more traditional biscotti packed with flavor, then try my Cranberry Orange Pistachio Biscotti. You won’t go wrong with either one.
Now that the holiday season is upon us what type of recipes would you like me to share, that you can prepare for your guests? I’ll do what I can to grant everyone their wish!
Hungry for more? Savor these!
