CRYSTALLIZED GINGER BISCOTTI WITH ALMONDS AND WHITE CHOCOLATE



Crystallized Ginger Biscotti With Almonds and White Chocolate image

The flavour and texture of this biscotti is very light, easier to bite into than some recipes. You could dip the finished, cooled cookies into additional melted white chocolate but I don't like the ginger flavour to be over-powered by the chocolate so I leave them as is.
