Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot

By msklein

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cup matzo cake meal
• 1/3 cup potato starch
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350*F. Spray a large cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray.

Combine sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Blend together using a whisk.

Combine matzo cake meal, potato starch, and chocolate chips in a separate bowl. With a rubber spatula, stir the dry mixture into the sugar mixture until combined. Divide it in half. With wet hands, form two logs, each approximately 3 inches wide and 8 inches long. Transfer the logs to a cookie sheet.

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let the logs cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.

Transfer logs to a cutting board. Slice them on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick cookies.

Arrange the cookies, cut side down, on the same baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes more.

Makes about 30 cookies.
