    For today’s Cookie Friday I have…. well, not really cookies to be honest. Or can I call them cookies? Probably. I made delicious biscotti – or maybe no biscotti? I guess you noticed, I have quite some trouble to find a definition for these little fellas aka. Chocolate Ginger Biscotti ;)

    I would say not really cookies, cause they are baked twice. Here in Germany we call this kind of baked goods “Zwieback”. They are also no real biscotti or cantuccini cause those are normally made with almonds. So what should I call them? Delicious little thingies ;P Delicious cause there is quite some chocolate in there – together with the candied ginger which makes it a bit spicy… mmmmh! All in all a great combination. Perfect along with a coffee in the afternoon.

    If you wrap them nicely you have a nice gift the next time you visit your mom or friends. The good thing – they quite last some time due to the double baking. So get some ginger and make a batch!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.

    2. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix in well after each addition. Add orange zest and vanilla extract and mix in. Add the flour mixture and mix in until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate and ginger and fold in. Divide the dough in two and roll out each portion on a floured surface to a roll of about 12 inches (30cm) length. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet (keep enough space in between), brush with egg white and bake for 35-38 minutes – they should be golden brown and firm to touch. Take out of the oven and let cool down for about 10 minutes.

    3. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 300°F (150°C). Cut the pre-baked rolls with a really sharp knife diagonally into 0.5 inches (1,3cm) stripes, place with some space on the baking sheet and bake for another 35-38 minutes. Let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    4. Melt the chocolate and dip one end of each biscotti into the chocolate and let dry.

    1. Den Ofen auf 160°C (325°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und ebenfalls zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Butter zusammen mit dem Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Die Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Die Orangenschale und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die gehackte Schokolade und Ingwer zugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in zwei Portionen teilen und dann auf einer bemehlten Fläche jeweils zu einer etwa 30m (12 inch) langen Rolle formen. Mit genügend Abstand auf das vorbereitete Blech legen, mit Eiweiß bepinseln und dann für 35-48 Minuten goldbraun backen. aus dem Ofen nehmen und für etwa 10 Minuten abkühlen lassen.

    3. Die Temperatur des Ofens auf 150°C (300°F) reduzieren. Die vorgebackenen Teigrollen mit einem sehr scharfen Messer diagonal in etwa 1,3cm (0,5 inch) dicke Streifen schneiden und dann mit etwas Abstand auf das Blech stellen und für weitere 35-38 Minuten backen. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.

    4. Die Schokolade schmelzen und die Biscotti mit einem Ende in die Schokolade tauchen, etwas abtropfen und trocknen lassen.
