Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, black pepper, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Cream softened butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mix, then stir in molasses and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  6. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into logs about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  7. Bake the biscotti logs in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning the tray halfway.
  8. Allow logs to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cutting board and slicing into ¾-inch thick pieces.
  9. Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
  10. Melt white chocolate wafers and coconut oil in the microwave until smooth, stirring frequently.
  11. Dip each biscotti into the melted white chocolate and place on the lined sheet to cool.
