These were pretty darn good. With a couple changes, the texture came out just perfect; they weren't too crunchy or too soft as other reviewers have stated. First, I replaced the oil with butter. I make a few different kinds of biscotti, and I've never seen a recipe call for oil. I figured the butter would be tastier. Second, to ensure a crucnchy yet not-too-hard texture, I mixed the ingredients according to most biscotti recipes I've tried. I mixed all the dry ingredients, incuding the sugar. Then I cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembled course crumbs. In a seperate bowl, I lightly beat the eggs and the molasses together. I added this to the dry mix. I mixed this concoction until it was just combined. No overmixing! The dough should still be crumbly. I divided the dough in half and formed them into their log shapes on the cookie sheets. It's still pretty crumbly at this point, but it all firms up when you bake it. This looser dough allows the biscotti to cook up crunchy without being dense or hard. I think that's the reason some people ended up with tough cookies. You have to keep the dough kinda loose. Anyway, when I finsihed the baking process, I dipped them in white chocolate. Deliciousness.

This is a good recipe after I changed a few things from what other reviewers have said and from other biscotti recipes I use. I used 6 T marjarine instead of oil. I omitted the whole wheat flour and ended up using about 4 cups to get the right consistancy. I also added a teaspoon vanilla and used 3 1/2 t. Pampered Chefs Cinnamon Plus instead of all the seasonings, it's just easier as it has all of them in it. Next I divided into 3 logs and rolled them in Raw sugar mixed with a little cinnamon then flattened them. It gave it a nice look after baking. The easiest way to make biscotti is to bake on a Pampered Chef Bar stone(yes there is a difference in stones) They won't burn and when you bake the 2nd time, you just stand them up about 1/2 inch apart and don't have to flip them. I'm not sure if I will do any white chocolate on them or not. They do look pretty the way they are.

this may be the best biscotti I have ever had! I followed the recipe exactly (even the cooking time) and they came out perfectly. I don't know why some others had so much trouble. The dough wasn't sticky at all. Even my 6 year old had one with milk tonight and loved it! This is a keeper. Thanks so much Christina!

Maybe it's me, but I always like a little bite to my gingerbread so I add a dash (or two in my case) of finely ground black pepper. This is one cookie that I always get recipe requests for. And people are impressed that biscotti is not something that has to be purchased.

I thought this was a great recipe. I did sub 1 stick of butter for the oil, Blackstrap molasses for regular molasses, used all wheat flour and rapidura suger instead of the white. I also followed "Firefly07"s instructions for how to mix it up They said "Second, to ensure a crunchy yet not-too-hard texture, I mixed the ingredients according to most biscotti recipes I've tried.

Thank you Cristina & Thank you Firely 07..this is the first time I ever made biscotti and it was awesome!

Delicious and easy! Fills the house with the smells of Christmas! I dipped them in white chocolate melts, and hubby loved them! I did reduce the baking time, as they were burning a bit on the bottom.

Very yummy biscotti, great in coffee, good with cream cheese cinnamon roll icing too. 25 mins cooking time was slightly long and I unfortunately didnt check it, but turned out ok, just slightly overcrispy and dark on the ends. I'll watch it more closely the last 5 mins next time.

The taste is very good and easy to make. Make sure you flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness as directed, mine was a little thicker and ended up very doughy in the middle when I cut them, they did cook through when I baked them the second time. I did dip one side in vanilla almond bark. My husband said they were very good dipped in coffee.

Look out Starbucks! This recipe is fantastic. I've made a lot of biscotti in the past, so I decided to use butter instead of oil (1/3C). To get the gingerbread into the right size logs I wet my hands and had no problem shaping them into the desired shape. I baked them for 20min, let them cool for 5min, then cut them and turned them on their sides, baked for 4 more minutes, and they were done. I drizzled white chocolate on them when cool. I will make this over and over again!

These are decent but really need a little more kick! Next time I am going to add real ginger (either crystallized or fresh rather than ground) and some more cloves. Also, they benefited from some icing.
