A traditional Eastern European twice-baked almond biscuit studded with semisweet chocolate chips and walnuts. These crispy, cinnamon-spiced cookies are perfect for dunking in coffee or tea. Made with oil rather than butter, they're naturally dairy-free and wonderfully versatile.

Ingredients

3¼ cups All-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Baking powder

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

1½ teaspoons Ground cinnamon

3 whole Large eggs

1 cup Canola oil

1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

1¼ cups Sugar

1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup Roughly chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, canola oil, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined and slightly pale.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide dough in half and shape each half into a long log (about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide) on one of the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the logs are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes. The logs should be firm enough to slice but still slightly warm.
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log on a slight diagonal into pieces about ¾ inch thick.
Place sliced biscuits cut-side down on both baking sheets.
Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are crispy and light golden. Flip halfway through baking to ensure even toasting.
Remove from oven and cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. The biscuits will continue to crisp as they cool.

Chocolate-chip mandel bread is a solid weeknight bake with ingredients found at every Charlotte grocery chain—flour, eggs, oil, sugar, chocolate chips, walnuts, and common spices are standard stock items with no special trips required. At roughly $0.30 per serving (modest amounts of oil and eggs, bulk flour and chocolate chips), the cost is genuinely low for a yield of 40 pieces. The stated 100 minutes is honest: about 15 minutes of mixing and shaping, then 45 minutes first bake, then slicing and a second 15-minute bake. It's a forgiving, hands-off recipe that reheats well for days and suits a family snacking or dessert rotation perfectly.
