AUTHENTIC MANDELBROT
I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood where a traditional snack was Mandelbrot. I so enjoyed visiting my friends as these homey cookies came fresh out of the oven with the most fantastic aroma. Luckily for me, one of the mothers shared this recipe and I've cherished and enjoyed it ever since.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet and toast in preheated oven until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool, then coarsely chop the almonds.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, and orange zest in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter-egg mixture and mix on low speed just until blended. Stir in chopped almonds.
- Divide dough in half. Grease hands to prevent sticking. On prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a flattened log, about 9 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 1 inch tall.
- Bake in preheated oven until light brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices flat on baking sheet. Bake until bottoms are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Flip cookies and bake until other sides are lightly browned, about 10 minutes more.

MANDELBROT
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In an electric mixer beat eggs well and then add and beat well the oil, sugar and vanilla. Sift together salt, flour and baking powder, add to egg mixture and beat until just incorporated. Add nuts and any other additions at this time, fold in but don?t over-mix. The dough will be sticky, refrigerate for a few hours or longer, if needed. Coat hands with flour and then divide dough into thirds and shape each into long rolls 3 inches wide on a cookie sheet. They can be left straight or shaped into half moons. Bake for 30 minutes or until a little golden.
- Remove from the oven, slice into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife and return to cookie sheet. Either lay them flat on the cookie sheet or stand them on their ends. They may be sprinkled with cinnamon sugar at this point. Return to the oven and turn off the heat. Leave them in oven until oven cools or overnight. The longer one leaves them in the oven the harder they will become.
MOM'S MANDELBROT
This is the Jewish equivalent to biscotti. It was handed down through three generations. I added the mini chocolate chips. The cookies are twice baked, first in logs and then in slices. Stored in an airtight container, these will keep for about two weeks.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MANDELBROT COOKIES
Mandelbrot in Yiddish literally means "almond bread." The twice-baked cookie made with oil and almonds dates back to 19th century Eastern Europe. There are many variations made of different dried fruits and nuts. My chocolate chip version is more modern-American. -Kimberly Scott, Kosciusko, Mississippi

ORANGE-ALMOND MANDELBROT
Mandelbrot (or mandel bread) is an Eastern European Jewish cookie, a variation on biscotti. The dough is baked twice: first in a log, and then again after it's been sliced into cookies. This recipe includes the smart trick of freezing the dough after baking it the first time, then cutting it into slices when still frozen before baking again. This makes for a thinner slice, fewer crumbs when cutting and a crispier texture. You can make it with matzo cake meal during Passover - a delicious variation.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix flour or matzo cake meal, potato starch, almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and the salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream 1 cup/200 grams sugar and the butter or coconut oil. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in flour or matzo mixture, almonds, vanilla and orange zest.
- Place half the dough on a piece of parchment paper about 20 inches long. Use parchment paper to help mold the dough into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. (The dough is very soft and may be hard to worth with.) Gently press down along the top of the log to flatten it slightly. Twist ends of the parchment paper to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate both logs for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap dough logs and put on the prepared baking sheet, side by side. Bake logs for 35 to 45 minutes, until just beginning to brown. The dough should not be too cracked on the top. It is better to underbake than overbake.
- Let logs cool, wrap in plastic and freeze until you are ready to finish them, or for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Remove logs from freezer. With a sharp, serrated knife, cut the logs into roughly 1/2-inch-thick slices, discarding the end slices if they fall apart. (If the logs have been in the freezer for several hours, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.)
- Dip both sides of each slice in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them flat on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, carefully turn slices over, then bake another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and starting to crisp.
