Mandel Bread Cookies Gift Box

Forget the biscotti you’ve nibbled in cafes. They don’t belong in the same category as these traditional Jewish treats.
 
Toasted almonds get the spotlight here. There’s a ton of them. Almost more than can fit. The rest of the mandel bread is held together with fresh eggs and sweet butter, and the flavor is amplified with fresh lemon and orange zest along with a dose of real vanilla.
 
Many folks around Zingerman's think mandel bread is closer to shortbread than biscotti, and I agree. Though it’s crunchy, crispy and very dunkable in coffee or milk, it's great enjoyed by itself when a sweet reward is earned. Stash a bag where you need a quick fix: desk drawer, glove box, gym bag…

The ingredients for these handmade mandel bread are organic wheat flour (organic wheat, malted barley), toasted almonds, sugar, butter, fresh eggs, orange zest, lemon zest, Madagascar vanilla extract, and sea salt.
