Almond Mandelbread

Cookies and Bars Recipes

Yield: about 50 to 60 slices

These sliced nut cookies are sometimes called "Jewish biscotti."

• 9 tablespoons butter
• 1-1/4 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
• Garnish (optional): 12-ounce bag chocolate morsels, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix butter at medium speed until smooth. Slowly add sugar; continue to mix until light and creamy. Add remaining ingredients, except cinnamon sugar; mix well. Pour out dough onto floured countertop. Form into three 1-inch-high loaves; transfer onto parchment-lined pans. Dust with cinnamon sugar and bake approximately 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn oven down to 350 degrees F. When cool, cut into 1-inch slices. Lay slices on their sides and toast lightly, about 5 to 10 minutes. If desired, dip ends of cooled slices in melted chocolate. Let harden on parchment paper.
