Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest (about 1 orange)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 0.33 cup Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped crystallized ginger, ensuring it is evenly incorporated throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rectangular log approximately 10 inches long, 3 inches wide, and about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and lightly golden brown. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip each slice and bake for another 10 minutes, or until both sides are dry and golden.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container for up to two weeks and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
