Mandel bread (also known as mandelbrot) is similar to a biscotti but a little sweeter. This is a really simple and straightforward mandel bread recipe. Filled with chocolate chips and a hint of cinnamon flavor, the cookie is superb for dipping into hot chocolate, coffee or tea. But, they're just as yummy on their own....

- 4. Add vanilla and continue to cream.
- 5. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides.
