How to Make Orange Ginger Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 cup sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, gently shape the dough into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  9. Place the dough cylinder onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  12. Using a serrated knife, cut the cooled dough cylinder diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  13. Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  14. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  16. Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip the ends of the biscotti into the melted chocolate.
  17. Place the dipped biscotti on waxed paper to set.
