Kamish bread is another name for Mandel bread, a twice-baked cookie in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine that’s similar to biscotti. Kamish bread typically has higher oil content, so it is softer than its Italian sister dessert. Make these crunchy and crispy cookies today with a handful of ingredients you probably already have at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups sifted flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 handful semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbs granulated sugar
- 1 Tbs ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until thoroughly blended.
- Add oil to egg mixture and blend.
- Sift and measure flour. Sift baking powder.
- Add flour and baking powder to egg mixture. Blend well.
- Add chocolate chips to mixture until well blended.
- Mix together cinnamon and sugar and dust the top of the kamish bread dough.
- Baked in a 350 F oven for 35 minutes.
- Pull out of oven and let cool partially. Once cooled, slice into 1/2-inch wide, 4-inch-long slices.
- Place back on baking tray and bake until slightly golden brown. Pull out of oven and let cool.
