Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a food processor (or large bowl), blend our Bob’s Red Mill flours, xanthan gum, and kosher salt together. Next, blitz in the sugar and then cut in the cold butter. From here, add a splash of vanilla and blend the eggs in one at a time, until a dough is formed. It will be very thick. If you used a food processor, scoop the dough out and place into a bowl before folding in the nuts and chocolate of your choice. Allow the dough to chill in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
On baking sheets lined with parchment paper, evenly scoop out your Mandel Cookies, giving them enough space between them. You can either make 8 large cookies or 16 smaller sized cookies. As they bake, they will spread out and flatten a bit. Before they go in the oven, dust with cinnamon and granulated sugar for an aromatic and glossy finish. Bake at 350F for 15-18 for the smaller cookies, or 23-25 minutes for the larger. They may appear "wet" after bake time, but will fully set while cooling. Allow them to cool for several minutes before serving.

Notes

This recipe is a play on my mom’s Mandel Bread loaf recipe that she used to make every year for Passover. This adaptation puts our Mandel somewhere in the preparation of biscuits and cookies. **Note that these may not be considered Kosher for Passover depending on your strictness or interpretation of chametz for the holiday.**
