How to Make Barb's Gingerbread Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup currants.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  7. Divide the dough in half.
  8. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape each half into a 14-inch long x 1 1/2-inch wide rectangle.
  9. Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until the biscotti are firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  11. Let the biscotti cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, cut each rectangle diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  13. Place the biscotti slices cut-side down on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  15. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
