Things You'll Need:
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsps. baking powder
- 3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
- 4 ounces of chopped walnuts
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
-
Step 1
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil and vanilla. Combine the two mixtures until the dough is crumbly.
-
Step 2
Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips gradually. Knead the mixture to make sure everything is mixed properly.
-
Step 3
Split the dough into four parts and roll each piece into a log that's 10 inches wide and 2 inches thick. Place logs on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 4
Loosen the logs with a metal spatula onto a cutting board. Allow the logs to cool for 5 minutes, then cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Get an idea of how the pieces should look by visiting the Recipe Tips website (see Resources box).

Step 5
Place the mandel bread pieces back on the sheet and bake for 10 more minutes. The mandel bread should still be somewhat soft when removed from the oven a second time.
-
Step 6
Dust your cookies with powdered sugar or top them with jam before serving. Mandel bread also is good served alone.
