Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F).  

Dig your hands in and combine everything together like a toddler making a mud pie. Or better yet, give this job to one of your kids—not a toddler though unless you want your kitchen plus child splattered with sticky mandelbroit batter.

Once the batter is all mixed together shape it into two logs and place on baking trays covered with baking paper.

(Dear reader, take a moment to contemplate this wonderful fact—no spooning the batter out one cookie at time—isn’t that wonderful?)

Bake 30-40 minutes.

Remove from oven. Cool slightly (10 minutes max or you’ll have mandel rocks) and slice with a sharp knife. If you like your sticks harder you can return to turned off oven after slicing. By the way, this freezes beautifully,
