This is a great recipe! I've dried the loafs, after cutting them, in the oven for 50 min. It's a huge success!

These were amazing ! I followed other reviewers suggestions. I made these into 3 loaves instead of 2. I baked for 35 minutes and then sliced them and turned them on their side. Turned the temperature down to 250 and after sprinkling with more cinnamon/sugar, I dried them out for 15 minutes and then turned them over. Sprinkled with more cinnamon sugar and another 15 minutes. These were so delicious. The next time I make them, I'm going to try the 3 loaves 3 different ways. One loaf with the chocolate chips & cinnamon/sugar like the recipe calls for, the 2nd loaf with the chocolate chips but no cinnamon/sugar. The 3rd loaf, without the chocolate chips but only the cinnamon/sugar. I'm especially looking forward to just the cinnamon/sugar alone. Thank you Joyce for this amazing 5+ star recipe.

Just made this as a dessert after our seder. Wonderful!!! A+! There is definitely enough batter to make 3 loaves instead of two, as someone else suggested.

This tastes so much better than the store bought versions I grew up with. Very excited to have a new Passover staple. I took the suggestion to dry them out after slicing. I cut them about an inch thick and found I had to flip the cookies. They dried out for about 20 minutes on each side. I did not use the extra cinnamon and sugar as they were already sweet enough. Next time I don't think I will put the cinnamon and sugar on top. The other change was that I did not have matzah cake meal only matzah meal. So I ground up the matzah meal in my coffee grinder before adding it to the recipe and it came out fine.

Wow this recipe was the best. I just became a member so I can review this. I made this on Monday for the seder and it came out incredible. But mine was more like a cake and I loved it. I don't cook much but I made this and it was a huge hit. I just followed the recipe exactly it was great. Thanks for putting this on. I am going to make it again for next week.

I don't know if the photo is misleading or I did something incorrect, but I expected chocolate mandelbrot not regular mandelbrot with chocolate chips. While the end result was ok, I was disappointed after all the rave reviews. Also, 50-55 minutes cooking time burns the bottom.

Was so excited to get this in the oven, forgot to sprinkle sugar/cinnamon on top - didn't miss it!! YUM! AND you don't have to make these into logs, the dough is thick/heavy enough that you can shape them into any shape for fun. Highly recommend!!

I have just made this for the forthcoming Passover, but I doubt if it will last that long. I followed the directions exactly, sliced them and put them back in the oven for 10 minutes @ 250 degrees. and they really came out fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
