Time P1DT30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs
1 cup oil or butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped natural almonds
Additional options: lemon or orange zest, cocoa, other kinds of nuts, almond extract, cinnamon sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In an electric mixer beat eggs well and then add and beat well the oil, sugar and vanilla. Sift together salt, flour and baking powder, add to egg mixture and beat until just incorporated. Add nuts and any other additions at this time, fold in but don?t over-mix. The dough will be sticky, refrigerate for a few hours or longer, if needed. Coat hands with flour and then divide dough into thirds and shape each into long rolls 3 inches wide on a cookie sheet. They can be left straight or shaped into half moons. Bake for 30 minutes or until a little golden.
  • Remove from the oven, slice into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife and return to cookie sheet. Either lay them flat on the cookie sheet or stand them on their ends. They may be sprinkled with cinnamon sugar at this point. Return to the oven and turn off the heat. Leave them in oven until oven cools or overnight. The longer one leaves them in the oven the harder they will become.

MOM'S MANDELBROT

This is the Jewish equivalent to biscotti. It was handed down through three generations. I added the mini chocolate chips. The cookies are twice baked, first in logs and then in slices. Stored in an airtight container, these will keep for about two weeks.

MANDELBROT

My son's favorite cookie in the world. He has me bake a massive batch of these cookies for him once a year so he can wrap them in foil and freeze them so he can eat them year round! In place of chocolate syrup you can fold in chocolate chips, nuts or other goodies to suit your taste.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
3 eggs
.563 cup vegetable oil
½ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
.8 cup chocolate syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into an electric mixer's mixing bowl and mix well; blend eggs and 1/2 cup oil into mixture. Pour orange juice and orange zest into mixture; mix well. When the mixture becomes very thick take the mixing bowl out of the mixer and continue stirring with a wooden spoon (at this point the mixture is so thick that it could damage an electric mixer).
  • Separate dough into thirds. Roll (or spread with your hands) each chunk of dough into a rectangular shape. Sprinkle the chocolate syrup onto the center of each rectangle. Fold the sides of each rectangle into the center to form a loaf shape. Work with the loaf until there is no longer a crease that could break open while baking. Each roll will be approximately 12 inches long. Brush the outside of each roll lightly with oil. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of the rolls.
  • Bake on a nonstick cookie pan for 20 minutes. This is a firm, cake-like cookie. If you would rather a crispier cookie toast the cookie another 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. When cooled cut the loaves to form semi-circle shaped cookies.

Tips for Baking Mandelbrot Cookies:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good quality chocolate and nuts.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the dough from becoming tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help the cookies to set and prevent them from sticking to each other.

Conclusion:

Mandelbrot cookies are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, or simply as a snack. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these cookies at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cookies turn out perfect.
