Mandelbrot

Cream eggs and sugar together. Add oil, mix well. Add vanilla and almond extract. Add baking powder to flour, then add dry mixture a little at a time to the egg and sugar mixture. Add nuts, cherry and/or chocolate chips. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Turn out on well floured board. With floured hands, divide batter into 6 or 8 strips. Put on greased cookie sheets. Bake 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees, until top is light brown. Remove from oven. Slice while still hot, into 1/2 inchslices. Put back into oven, with heat off for 10-15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Sprinkle tops with powder sugar. These cookies store well in a tightly covered tin or plastic container.
