To make Gingerbread Mocha Biscotti, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a stiff dough forms. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and crystallized ginger. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crisp and dry.
Gingerbread Mocha Biscotti is a perfect holiday treat that combines the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread with the rich, bold taste of mocha. These biscotti are crunchy, chocolatey, and packed with flavor. Serve them with a hot cup of coffee or cocoa for a cozy and delicious treat.
