This mandelbrot recipe is the Jewish equivalent to biscotti. It was handed down through three generations, though I added the mini chocolate chips. The cookies are twice baked, first in logs and then in slices. Store this in an airtight container, and the cookies will keep for about two weeks.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 0.75 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Beat together eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder; and stir into egg mixture until well mixed. Fold in chocolate chips and almonds. Form two logs, 3 inches in diameter, and place onto the baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and cut into 1-inch diagonal slices. Lay slices on their sides on the cookie sheet and return to the oven for 10 minutes. Remove to cool on a wire rack.

Chocolate Tart
This homemade chocolate tart looks like it came out of a French bakery! The chocolate ganache is rich, glossy, and easy to make with just cream and chocolate chips. I cut it into small slices and serve with coffee for a delicious dessert.
Watermelon Fruit Salad
Have a great summer party with watermelon salad inside its rind. Scoop out the watermelon, add other fruits, put it back in, and you have a personal-sized salad for each person!
Halloween Pumpkin Stew
I am not sure where this recipe originated, but it has been a Halloween tradition in my husband's family for at least 20 years. It is a dinner we look forward to all year. Served with cornbread or sourdough rolls. Yum!
