Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, then slice into 1-inch cookies to serve.
