Instructions
Place a piece of parchment paper onto a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine together the starter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add in the flour, salt, and cinnamon and mix until just combined.
Check your dough to see if it needs more flour - you want it to be thick and kind of stiff, but not too dry. It should almost look like cookie dough. You can add in a small amount of flour if you need, but don't add too much.
Mix on low speed for 5 minutes.
Add in the softened butter and mix until incorporated.
Stir in the cinnamon chips, until just combined.
Place the dough onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet, forming a log in the middle of the pan.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow to ferment on the counter for 3-5 hours. It won't really rise much.
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Remove the plastic wrap and bake the log for 35 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 250 F.
Using a bread knife, cut the log into ¾" thick slices. Use a sharp knife and cut carefully - you want even and clean cuts. Your biscotti could be still gummy inside, which is totally ok. If your knife gets dirty, use a paper towel to clean it off in between slices.
Make sure there is room in between each slice, separate the slices out from each other a bit, but keep them standing up.
Bake at 250F for 40 minutes.
Remove the biscotti to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
In a microwave safe bowl, break the white chocolate up into pieces. Melt in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Stir, and continue to melt for 10 second intervals, and stir, until the white chocolate is melted.
Drizzle over the biscotti.
Allow to set and enjoy!
Notes
Store the biscotti in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days.
