Thanksgiving is over and we've officially entered into the Christmas season.  I love the flavors and smells that fill my kitchen when I start my Christmas baking.  The cinnamon, the nutmeg, the allspice, the cloves - I love it all.  

When I combine all of those delicious flavors into one gingery baked treat, there's an intoxicating aroma that fills the house for hours.

I bake hundreds of gingerbread cookies every year and at least a half dozen gingerbread houses but I had never made gingerbread biscotti.  This was a first for me and let me just say - gingerbread biscotti is delicious.

Enjoy.  I thought about drizzling these little treats with a little dark chocolate but finally decided against it.  I guess I decided that a purist approach to the gingerbread biscotti would be best. 

I still think that a little dark chocolate might take these to a whole new dessert category though and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them did end up with chocolate on them before Christmas is over.

I just added another sweet smelling treat to add to my Christmas baking list every year.  AND these gingerbread biscotti, taste just as good as they smell.  

Ciao!
