Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F /160°C/ Gas mark 3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Marzipan Dough: In a large mixing bowl, add the marzipan and combine it with egg white, powdered sugar, rose water, almond extract, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the almond flour to the mixture, stirring until it's fully incorporated and the dough is firm but still pliable.1 cup Marzipan, ½ cup Powdered sugar, 1 large Egg white, ½ tsp Rose water, ½ tsp Almond extract, ½ tsp Vanilla extract, 1½ cup Almond flour
- Shape the Crescents: Take small portions of the dough, about one tablespoon each, and roll them into balls. Roll each ball into a log, about 3 inches long. Bend the logs gently to form crescent shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Roll in Almond Flakes: Spread the almond flakes on a plate. Gently roll each crescent cookie in the almond flakes, ensuring they adhere to the surface. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.½ cup almond flakes
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies turn a light golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: Dust the cookies with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and a beautiful presentation.2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- Dip in Chocolate: Dipping the tips in chocolate is optional. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip the tips of each cooled crescent cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a parchment paper-lined tray and let the chocolate set at room temperature.4 oz (Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks)
