    Mom's Mandel Bread Recipe

    Published: Dec 9, 2021 · Modified: Feb 3, 2022

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This is a classic recipe for mom’s mandel bread. It goes well with tomato soup, veggie burgers or sandwiches. Mom’s Mandel Bread is simple to make and can be prepared in under an hour.

    People often call mandel bread "Jewish biscotti", but there is no comparison. Unlike biscotti-- the tall,  thin, dry cookies, often dunked in chocolate and displayed on the check-out counter at Starbucks, mandel bread are golden brown on the outside,  moist in the center, dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar,  dense but not heavy or rich in the least, and packed full with chopped walnuts and raisins (or chocolate chips),  It's the perfect cookie-- hot out of the oven or straight from the freezer. My mom may just have to open our own mandel bread shop.
