Jewish Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread
Mandel bread can be made kosher for Passover by substituting matzo meal for the flour. This biscotti-like crispy cookie can be enjoyed with some coffee at the end of the Seder or throughout the week when you’re in the mood for a treat. They stay good for two weeks, so no need to worry about them going stale.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, beat oil and 1/2 cup sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into oil mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Shape dough into a 12x3-in. rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool on pan on a wire rack until firm, 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer baked rectangle to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut crosswise into 1-in. slices. Place on baking sheet, cut side down. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar
- Bake until golden brown, 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Store between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container.
