Mandel Bread Recipe
I seem to have lost my favorite Mandel Bread recipe and while there are several online, I'd like to find one that someone has made and likes. Does anyone have one to share? I love these cookies and hope to get a recipe in time for the holidays. Thanks for your help!

I know there are several online, I just want one that someone has tried before. Kosher doesn't matter to me....I'm not Jewish. :-)

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup, almond slices

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice. Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Cut up cherries and add to mixture among with raisins and almonds. Wet hands and shape dough on greased cookie sheet into 4 strips. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Place on top rack of oven. Bake at 375 F for 20-25 mins. ( do not overbake or bread will dry out) slice while still warm into individual cookies.
