Description

Mandel bread is a traditional Jewish cookie that's similar to biscotti. It's crunchy, sweet, and perfect for dipping in tea or coffee. However, most mandel bread recipes contain gluten, which can be problematic for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. That's why we've created this gluten-free mandel bread recipe that's just as delicious as the original.

Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup slivered almonds

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Mix in the chocolate chips and slivered almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 1 inch thick and 3 inches wide.
  9. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and lightly golden.
  11. Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  12. Use a sharp knife to slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  13. Place the slices back on the baking sheet, cut-side down.
  14. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown and crisp.
  15. Remove the mandel bread from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
