Cherry Mandlbrodt

Shortcake
"Often referred to as Jewish biscotti, my grandmother got this recipe from a neighbor over 40 years ago. They both used almonds, my mother used walnuts and I prefer pecans. It has a sweeter taste and softer texture than biscotti. A great hit with kids!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Beat the vegetable oil and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the sugar mixture before adding the next. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans and cherries; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Using lightly greased hands, divide dough into 2 equal portions. Form 2 loaves about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut each loaf into 3/4 inch slices. Place slices cut side up, back on the baking sheet. Increase oven heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and return mandlebrodt to the oven. Toast until edges become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

These are delicious but next time I will add more cherries. I drizzled the tops with melted chocolate.

Very similar to a biscotti, this little cookie is wonderful with coffee or tea. The cookie is not too sweet and has good flavor, but the next time I would omit the cinnamon sugar.

I didn't sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (not my taste). I used slightly less sugar than the recipe called for and would probably use only about 3/4 of a cup at most next time. I used candied cherr...
