Chocolate Chip-Walnut Mandelbrot

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (7 ounces) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups walnut pieces
  • Extra sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

Preparation

Step 1

1) Beat together the eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla, and salt at medium-high speed until thickened and light-colored, about 5 minutes.

2) Beat in the flour, cinnamon and baking powder.

3) Mix in the chips and nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight.

4) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

5) Divide the dough into four even pieces.
6) Working with one piece at a time, place the dough on the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into an 8" x 2" log. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, leaving at least 2" between them; you'll put 2 logs on each baking sheet.
Sprinkle the logs heavily with cinnamon and white sugar.
8) Bake the logs for about 28 to 30 minutes, until they're set and beginning to brown and the edges and sides, but not brown all over.
9) Slice as you serve them.
