Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl until combined. Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Beat 3 of the eggs, oil, and vanilla in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in pistachios, dried cranberries and ginger. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until dough is soft and slightly sticky, about 8 to 10 times, sprinkling the dough with additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed.
- Whisk remaining egg and milk in small bowl; set aside. Divide dough into two equal portions, shaping each into a 9-inch long loaf. Transfer loaves to prepared sheet pans. Pat loaf to about 1/2-inch thickness. Brush tops with egg wash.
- Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven (do not turn off oven). Cool on pans 10 to 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, transfer loaves to clean cutting board. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices. Return to sheet pans, placing cut sides down.
- Bake 8 minutes. Flip biscotti and bake 8 minutes longer or until edges are crispy (center will still be slightly soft). Cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate as directed on package until completely smooth. Dip or drizzle biscotti as desired. Sprinkle immediately with additional chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, or crystallized ginger. Transfer to wire rack set over a baking sheet to set. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container up to 5 days.
