📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and molasses in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and creamy, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the mixer on low speed, beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then the maple extract. Scrape down the bowl and increase the speed to medium; beat until well combined, about 1 more minute.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating after each addition just until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
3
Divide the dough in half and place both halves on the prepared baking sheet. Using oiled hands, shape each half into a 4½-by-8-inch rectangle (about ½ inch thick) on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush it on the dough.
4
Bake until lightly browned, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle, about ⏱️ 15 minutes (keep the oven on). Transfer the dough rectangles to a cutting board and, using a large serrated knife, carefully slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the biscotti on the baking sheet with a cut side facing up.
5
Bake the biscotti for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then flip and continue baking until lightly golden and dry, about 10 more minutes. Remove to a rack to cool completely.
6
Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in more milk as necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze is thick but pourable. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the biscotti on the rack, then decorate with holiday sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set completely, at least ⏱️ 15 minutes.
