Biscotti is a fan favorite in this house. I always love trying different ways to make biscotti fun throughout the year. So for the holidays I’ve been playing around with some Christmas flavor. And nothing says Christmas like gingerbread. There is something about gingerbread that warms you up from the inside. Perfect for the start of the cold weather season. Because of the molasses, this biscotti is a little chewier than most, but this is by design!
