Not Your Bubbie's Mandel Bread image

Mandel bread (also known as mandelbrot) is similar to a biscotti but a little sweeter. This is a really simple and straightforward mandel bread recipe. Filled with chocolate chips and a hint of cinnamon flavor, the cookie is superb for dipping into hot chocolate, coffee or tea. But, they're just as yummy on their own....

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 stick unsalted butter
3/4 c sugar
3 large eggs
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 pkg chocolate chips
cinnamon, mixed with sugar for dusting
optional: dash of chili powder or cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a half sheet pan (or large cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • 3. Add eggs one at a time making sure they get incorporated well.
  • 4. Add vanilla and continue to cream.
  • 5. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides.
  • 6. Add 1 cup of the flour along with the baking powder and salt (here is where you would add chili powder if you want a kick). Continue to mix.
  • 7. Add the remaining 2 cups of flour one at a time to keep the batter light.
  • 8. Finally, add the chocolate chips.
  • 9. Mix until just combined.
  • 10. Dust your work space with flour and divide dough into 3 equal size balls.
  • 11. One at a time, roll the balls into long loaves and place onto cookie sheet.
  • 12. Slightly flatten each loaf until it is the desired shape of the cookies you'd like.
  • 13. Dust each loaf with cinnamon sugar and bake for 20 minutes.
  • 14. At the end of 20 minutes, take them from the oven and slice each loaf into 1/2" pieces.
  • 15. Lie them on their side back on the cookie sheet.
  • 16. Dust again with cinnamon sugar and put them back in the oven until lightly crisp (about 6-7 minutes).
  • 17. Cool slightly. Enjoy with coffee, tea, milk, or whatever you like.
