- Here is the recipe for mandelbrot - a crisp cookie like biscotti - which I remember from my childhood. My grandmother, Anna Needles, was a wonderful baker. Not only did everything taste delicious, but it always looked so appealing. She only made the mandelbrot around Hanukkah, so we looked forward to them every year.
- I have updated the recipe just a little. We sell these in the bakery, and they are one of our most popular items.
