INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a
large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil, then blend in eggs and
vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together salt, baking powder and flour.
Fold into wet mixture, then fold in walnuts. Turn mixture onto a lightly
floured board and shape into a 10" by 3" log, flouring hands if necessary
to avoid sticking. Transfer log onto cookie sheet, flatten slightly and
bake until just set, 25-30 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes. Transfer log to a board. Using a
serrated knife, cut into slices about 1/2" thick. Place cookies back on
cookie sheet and bake again at 325 degrees to dry and brown slightly, about
11- minutes. Turn cookies over once during baking to ensure both sides bake
evenly.
NOTES : A typical, not-too-sweet mandelbrot - you can have it plain or toss
it in a cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweeter, spicier treat. This cookie
also makes a good basic recipe and takes well to variations, such as adding
chocolate chips, dried cherries or cranberries, raisins, anise seeds, etc.
Mandelbrot is a German Jewish treat.
