Gingerbread Biscotti

I serve this biscotti at my tea parlor and explain to guests that "dunking" is quite appropriate. Friends love it when I put the dry ingredients in a jar, attach the biscotti recipe and give it as a gift. — Linda James of Greenfield, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
