Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

1 egg, beaten for glaze

Topping:

1-quart size heavy duty zip lock bag

Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the first 10 dry ingredients. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add 3 eggs and the vanilla to the center of the well. Stir them into the dry ingredients with a spoon or knead the dough with your hands. Mix in the macadamia nuts. Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a log about 13 inches long and about 1 inch thick. Put the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 4 inches apart and brush with the beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for about 25 minutes or until firm to touch. Let logs rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Let cool. Topping: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Pour into a zip lock bag and snip an 1/8-inch hole in the bottom corner of the bag (or use a disposable pastry bag). Make a zigzag drizzle on the top of biscotti with the warm white chocolate.

Personal Notes:
I developed this recipe for a baking contest and won 2nd place. I patterned them after "Starbuck's" gingerbread biscotti, which unfortunately are only available during the holiday season. So now whenever I have a craving for these spicy gingerbread biscotti, I just make them!
