Passover Choco-Nut Mandel Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 6 eggs
• 2.75 cups matzo cake meal
• 0.75 cup potato starch
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together matzo cake meal, potato starch, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture until just blended. Gently mix in walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Wrap dough and chill briefly in the refrigerator until easy to handle.
3. Divide dough in half and form each half into a 5-inch-wide loaf about 1-inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, then slice into 1-inch cookies to serve.
