This is my favorite recipe for Mandel Bread. I first made it for Rosh Hashanna in 1973. This recipe comes from the newer edition of the “Rochester Hadassah Cookbook.” ~SOFTA123 AKA Marilyn Sultar

Instructions

SOFTA123’S AKA MARILYN SULTAR’S NOTE:

Step 1

SOFTA123’S AKA MARILYN’S NOTE: I use chocolate chips instead of nuts and/or coconut. Also, I use the vanilla and orange juice–1 tsp. each.

MANDEL BREAD:

Step 2

Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs until fluffy and pale.

Step 3

Add sugar, oil, and flavoring. Add sifted dry ingredients. Add nuts or coconut. Flour board and shape dough into strips 2 1/2-3″, or scoop with large cooking spoon directly on UNGREASED cookie sheet and shape into strips with fingers. (SOFTA’S AKA MARILYN’S NOTE: I use scoop method.)

Step 4

Decorate with sliced almonds or coconut or sugar. Bake at 350 degrees-375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and slice in desired size and then lay slices on their sides on cookie sheets. Use extra cookie sheets, if necessary. (SOFTA123’S AKA MARILYN’S NOTE: I always find it necessary!!) Crisp slices in the oven for 5-10 minutes on each side.

Step 5

Pack in wax paper in tin or glass containers. Keeps for weeks. (SOFTA123’S AKA MARILYN’S NOTE: I freeze in Tupperware!!)
