Can I somehow turn gingerbread-cookie dough into gingerbread-biscotti dough?

Could it really be as simple as adding another egg and just doing the bake, slice, bake part? Please say yes.

I love that idea, Erin so I googled it and came up with this. Let me know what you end up doing.

"These spicy Italian cookies are the perfect accompaniment for cocoa or coffee during the holiday season! Serve with lemon curd or drizzle with lemon flavored almond bark for a special treat."

Ingredients:




1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1/4 cup molasses

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour


1 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger

3/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Directions:

1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.

2.In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.

3.Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.

4.Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.

5.When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.

 
No, not gonna work if you wanna add the egg to "already dough". Recommend

starting over with a real biscotti recipe.

 
Well, I just took the dough I had, shaped it into logs, and baked and sliced...

and then baked a second time. It turned out ok! smileys/smile.gif Not as dense and dry as a real biscotti recipe, but serviceable!

Thanks for your advice, Michael, Meryl, and Pat!

 
Ha! Yes, good question. smileys/wink.gif In short: husband wasn't eating the cookies; is eating the biscotti.

This way, I only ended up eating 3/4 of the results, instead of all of them. smileys/wink.gif (I would've taken some to our super, but his wife is a much, much better baker than I am.)
