This Easy Gingerbread Biscotti Recipe is perfectly spiced, with a sweet white chocolate drizzle. Excellent with coffee, and great for gifting!

If you have never made biscotti because you think it’s too difficult, let me assure you, it’s not hard at all! If you can make cookies, you can absolutely make biscotti! You don’t even have to bother with scooping dough balls like traditional cookies!

Biscotti are essentially cookies shaped into logs that are then baked, sliced, and baked again. This produces a crisp cookie perfect for dunking in coffee or milk!

My kids and I are obsessed! (This Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti is another must-make this Christmas! My kids beg to make these all the time!)

White Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cookies are sweet and tart, soft and chewy, and full of holiday spice! Oatmeal cookies never tasted so good!

There is something so cozy and comforting about a fresh-from-the-oven oatmeal cookie! Years ago, while fine tuning How to Make The Perfect Chewy Oatmeal Scotchie, my husband informed me those were one of his favorite cookies. And a few of my kids are huge fans of oatmeal raison cookies.

For some reason, though, I hardly ever make oatmeal cookies (except for the Best Monster Cookies Recipe – those are a family favorite. Everyone LOVES them!).

While trying to come up with a new oatmeal cookie for the holiday season, the flavors of orange, cranberry, and white chocolate came to my mind, and I immediately got to work creating  this delightful cookie!

When they came out of the oven we all agreed – these are a hit! Crisp around the edges, with chewy centers, and filled with warm spices and sweet and tart flavors that tickle your taste buds
