TWD - Kamish (Mandelbrot)



Today's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is a recipe for Mandelbrot that was nicknamed "kamish" by its creator.  "Mandelbrot" literally means "almond bread", and this one has big chunks of almond in it.  Other flavours include vanilla, cinnamon and coconut.

Mandelbrot are a little like biscotti, in that they are baked then cut and baked again on each of the cut sides.  In between bakes, the cookies are coated with a mixture of coconut, cinnamon and sugar.

These cookies are crumbly to cut into pieces after the first bake, but if you use the right knife and have patience, they turn out mostly OK.  And the crumbly bits are delicious to eat as is!!

To see what the other Dorie bakers made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

Yours look so good! I'm wondering why my cookies don't have the almonds facing out like everyone else's do!

And they are vegan - they use oil instead of butter.

I have never heard f these, I am always educated by your baking and the idea if biscuits rolled in cinnamon, coconut and sugar sounds perfect!
