In preparation for the holidays, kitchen Kaplan was in full swing this Sunday morning. We made chocolate covered pretzels, gingerbread men, forgotten kisses, and my personal favorite, mandelbread cookies.
Mandelbread is a traditional Jewish cookie that is similar to a biscotti, but with this recipe they almost melt away in your mouth while maintaining a satisfying crunch. We used chocolate and butterscotch chips but I'm really excited to try the recipe with dried cranberries and pistachios as well. Here's the recipe we made this morning.
Sue's Mandelbread Cookies
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
7 oz chocolate chips
5 oz butterscotch chips
3 tbsp cinnamon and 3 tbsp sugar combined for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 375 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl then add wet ingredients until well combined. Mix in chocolate and butterscotch chips.
2. Divide mixture into 3 loaves onto parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle each with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
3. Cool for 15 minutes then slice into 3/4" pieces across the short side. Arrange cookies cut side up on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
