Baking Mandelbrot with Mom

My mom has made Mandelbrot cookies for years and it was finally time to see how the sausage was made (kosher of course).

Recipe:
4 Sticks of butter
2 Cups of sugar
1 Bissel of salt
2 Teaspoons of baking powder
6-8 Eggs
2 Teaspoons of vanilla
6 Cups of flour
Optional chocolate chips or walnuts

You can half this recipe as we doubled it in the video. Melt the butter and mix with the sugar. Add the salt, baking powder and eggs. Now add the vanilla and slowly mix in the flour.

Once the dough is firm and won't stick to your hand you can form it into a load on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350f for 10 minutes and check for hardness. You shouldn't be able to put your finger into it. Let bake longer if needed.

Remover from the over and cut into pieces. Lay the pieces on their side close together. Once the cookie sheet is full bake for another 5-10 minutes to crisp. Remove from the over and let cool.

How to make Mandel Bread

Mandel bread is a delicious twice-baked Jewish cookie, similar to biscotti cookies. Our go-to cookie during the Jewish holidays, especially Hanukkah!

What is mandel bread?

Mandel bread actually comes from the Yiddish name, Mandelbrot. And mandelbrot means almond bread in Yiddish. Also worth noting, Mandel bread is sometimes referred to kamish bread in English-speaking countries.

Mandel bread is simply a twice baked cookie that is very similar to biscotti, but softer. You can see below how it looks after the first bake. It’s still soft and ready to be toasted.

During the Jewish holiday, we enjoy mandel bread, but it can really be enjoyed any time of the year and you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy it.

This mandel bread recipe comes from my grandma although my aunt is known as the mandel bread queen. She makes mandel bread so often I think she could do it with a blindfold. There are so many ways to enjoy mandel bread from how you serve it to what you fill it with, our top pick is chocolate chips with dried fruit but you can also add your favorite chopped nuts or even seeds.

Sometimes we find that the best gifts are those made with love and not those that are from the store made in a factory. I like to cherish these little moments and the product that comes from them ????

Making and enjoying mandel bread reminds me of my grammy, the cinnamon, the chocolate chips, and even the raisins that I’ll still pick out to this day. If I do put them in, I just put them in to have that memory. Weird, I know!

What is the difference between mandel bread and biscotti?
When it comes to appearance they look exactly the same and well, the taste as well. Both cookies are twice-baked cookies, but Mandel bread is a little bit softer and richer as it has more fat using more oil and eggs.

What else can you add to mandel bread?
The options are endless from nuts, seeds, dried fruits, chocolate or even sprinkles if you’re going unconventional.

Can you freeze mandel bread?
Yes, you can freeze mandel bread dough and baked cookies. My family likes to freeze it in pieces after baking and then snack on it straight from the freezer.

Thank you so much for subscribing, liking, commenting, asking questions and sharing my YouTube with everyone!! I really appreciate it!

Make sure you ring the bell option so you can get all my newest videos when published!
These cookies are a family favorite for any occasion!!!

Ingredients:

4 cups of all purpose flour
5 extra large eggs
1tbs baking powder
3/4 to 1 cup of oil (I use Canola oil)
3/4 or 1 cup of white sugar
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbs or more Cinnamon

Directions :
Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees
Add parchment paper to a large cookie sheet

In your mix master or electric beaters
Add eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla and almond extract
Mix well on a medium speed for approximately 5 minutes until well blended.

In large bowl add flour, salt and cinnamon powder and mix well.

Once egg mixture is mixed well turn the mixer on to a low speed and slowly add the flour mixture (I do 1/3 cup or so at a time)! You don't have to add all the flour. Stop when you notice that the mixture is dry.

Sometimes if you mix it too fast it will need all the flour and become a bit sticky!! If that happens don't worry!! Just add a bit more flour when you form the logs!!!

Add a drop of flour to your counter top and roll out dough to form a long log. Then you can cut into 4 long rolls or 8 smaller ones! If you want larger cookies only cut it into 4!!

Add logs to your cookie sheet
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or so until lightly brown.

Allow cookies to cool
Cut on a slant and add back on the cookie sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes or longer until brown on one side
Then flip them over and bake for another 15 or more minutes on the other side until golden brown!!

Allow to cool.
Add to your sealed container
They last up to a month on the shelf (unless gobbled up!!! ????)
Or you may freeze them up to 3 months or so!!

Enjoy my mom's very special recipe and please leave a comment!!!!
