Mandel Bread Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup oil
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup chocolate chips

  or a mixture of dried fruit nuts, chocolate
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar

  if desired

Instructions

• 1 In bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
• 2 In another large-sized bowl combine the vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
  Mix until mixture becomes thicker and light yellow.
• 3 Combine the wet and dry mixture and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate
  chips and any dried fruit or nuts.
• 4 Place a cover on the bowl with the mandel bread dough and refrigerate for around
  1-2 hours.
• 5 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• 6 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat.
• 7 Form the dough into 3 4" wide rectangles with the dough about 1/2-3/4" high onto
  the baking sheets Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• 8 Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the mandel bread to cool for
  15-20 minutes. Lower your oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• 9 Once the mandel bread has cooled cut it width-wise into 3/4 inch thick slices on
  a cutting board to prevent cutting your baking sheet. Now is the time to
  sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if you like yours with that extra sweetness and
  hint of cinnamon. Return the mandel bread back to the oven and bake until it's
  golden, about 15-30 minutes, more time if you like it crunchy.
• 10 Remove the mandel bread from the oven and place on a cooling rack and allow it
  to cool before enjoying. The cookies will harden as they cool.
