| Yield: | 4 dozen |
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground ginger
- ¾ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
- Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
- When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.

Let me first say that I wish there was a way to give this recipe 4 and a half stars. I dont feel like 4 is indicative of how good this recipe actually is. It’s soft with a great outer crunch. We munched on the end pieces without any white chocolate, it doesn’t need, but its definitely a pretty touch. I would like the spice to be kicked up a notch and possibly the molasses, but it’s truly delicious. Also, to everyone SO confused about oils instead of butter, more often than not biscotti uses oil. My favorite recipe for biscotti actually calls for olive oil, if I’m not mistaken, this is originally how they were made. Well done!
Wow! Was the dough Sticky! A little help on how to actually get it out of bowl off your hands and onto the cookie sheet without feeling like you’ve walked into a giant spider web would’ve nice! But flavor was outstanding.
Excellent recipe! Turned out delicious & was very easy! Thanks
Great recipe. Easy to make
These have become a perennial favorite with my family. I add white chocolate chips to them for some texture. When I first got together with my husband I sent these and a few other biscotti to him. When they got there he told me he wouldn’t like these particular ones because he doesn’t like gingerbread and he doesn’t like white chocolate. Long story short, these are his absolute favorite and he asks for them throughout the year and they are required for Christmas every year.
I substituted 5 1/3 TBLS of butter for the 1/3 cup oil and used organic minced ginger rather than dried.
This is a lovely recipe for Christmas biscotti! The spices are spot on, no alterations required! Simple, easy to follow directions..i will definitely be making these again, and the house smells like Christmas!
Followed the recipe with one substitution. I used all purpose flour only. Added extra spices and baked for only 5 min each side to complete after the initial baking period . I’ve had rave reviews and will make again. My close friend has even asked for the recipe!!
Very good recipe.
These are fantastic! I used a blend of oil and butter. That seemed to work best for me. I feel like the oil vs butter choice is more personal than anything. These were super delicious and a wonderful way to begin every morning of my staycation.
They were a hit at the office!
These were amazing! So easy and delicious! Everyone loved them! I am making my second batch as I type! Yum! Can’t wait to give away as Christmas gifts!
I made these for my dad who loves gingerbread with lemon sauce. I put some lemon juice in the icing and he loved them!
Made it almost as written, didn’t have any whole wheat flour. Fabulous, and my house couldn’t smell any better! Should’ve doubled the batch!
I have made 100’s of recipes of cookies/cakes/desserts. This has to be one of the worst recipes I have ever come across. Dough was beyond sticky. Way, way too much ginger and this recipe does NOT make two cookie ‘loaves’. Add 1/2c more flour if you want to make this easier. or, just don’t make it.
Excellent recipe and final product.
Made these this morning and they came great!!! I used all white flour and they were perfect. I think next time I may drizzle some icing on them but the flavor profile was great!! Wil definitely make the again!! Super easy!!
This is a great option for gingerbread lovers! wow! it definitely has the snap!
Yum, yum, these are soooooo good! Made per the recipe except took the suggestion of a reviewer who said she added 1/4 t baking soda and about that much salt. Oh, and I added about 1/4 t cayenne pepper! I noticed that several reviewers dipped or drizzled white chocolate, but since I didn’t have any, I made a glaze of powdered sugar and the last of my maple syrup, with a dash of salt. The finished biscotti looked so elegant! And really, it was an easy recipe. Thanks for posting it!!!
Definitely worth rating it five Stars. It’s really good for Christmas time, or little gifts for kids
These biscotti taste very close to gingerbread. The recipe is quite easy and my friends who tried them liked them a lot.
