Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • baking trays

Materials

  • 3 large eggs, whole
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 150 g vegetable oil
  • 250 g matzo cake meal
  • 175 g almond flour
  • 85 g potato starch
  • 120 g hazelnut, toasted
  • 120 g dried cranberries
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that the cookies bake evenly and don't stick to the pan.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar with a whisk until it is well combined.
  • Add vanilla extract and coconut oil in a slow stream.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together matzo cake meal, almond flour, potato starch, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until no streaks of matzo meal remain.
  • Fold toasted nuts and dried fruits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Place the dough in a clean container, cover it with plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Next day, divide the dough in half. Shape each half into 12 inches (30cm)long and 2 inches (5cm) wide. Place the logs into the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices cut side down on the cookie sheet.
  • Return the slices of Mandelbrot to the oven and bake a second time for another 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the twice-baked cookies from the tray and let it cool on a wire rack.
