What you can do
to help Israel in America
Cut dough into five equal wedges
and, working with one wedge at a
time, use a rolling pin with cover
dusted with flour or a well-floured
rolling pin to roll out dough thin as
possible (less than 1/8 inch thick).
Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter,
cut the dough into circles and place
on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll
scraps and cut out more wafers.
Bake cookies for about 6 minutes.
Cool 1-2 minutes and transfer with
metal spatula to racks to cool. Repeat
process with all dough. Store in air-
tight containers, stacked. Makes 12
dozen cookies.
Bits Of Toffee Mandelbrot
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 /2 tsp. salt
1 cup vegetable oil
3 /4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups finely chopped toffee bits
(this is the toffee only, no choco-
late, or finely chopped toffee
bars, if you want chocolate)
sugar and cinnamon, garnish
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a bak-
ing sheet with parchment.
Combine flour, baking powder and
salt in medium bowl and stir with a
fork. Set aside.
Combine oil and sugar in a large
bowl and mix with an electric mixer
until creamy. Mix in eggs. Mix in the
flour mixture, just until incorpo-
rated. Stir in the toffee bits.
Divide the dough into two logs
(the dough will be sticky) on the
prepared baking sheet. Using wet
hands or a spatula, shape the logs
and flatten them slightly. Bake for 30
minutes, or until the logs are lightly
colored and slightly cracked. Remove
from oven and allow the loaves to
cool completely (up to overnight,
wrapped in plastic wrap).
Preheat oven to 325F. Cut each loaf
into about 1/4-inch slices. Place the
slices cut side down on the baking
sheet and toast for about 10-12 min-
utes, until golden.
Remove from oven and sprinkle
with sugar (or cinnamon and sugar
mixture). Makes about 40-50 man-
delbrot.
