Ingredients
Cookie dough
- 1 cup (227 g) Marzipan crumbled
- ½ cup (60 g) Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg white
- ½ tsp Rose water
- ½ tsp Almond extract
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 1½ cup (160 g) Almond flour
Assembly and decorations
- ¼ cup (25 g) almond flakes
- 1 tbsp (8 g) Powdered sugar for dusting
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. Mix everything until it forms a smooth, uniform dough. 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
- Now, it’s time to shape the dough into cookies. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll it into balls between the palms of your hands. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Top - Gently press down on each dough ball and place an almond flake. Alternatively, you can press down with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top. This adds a beautiful texture and helps the cookies bake evenly.¼ cup almond flakes
- Bake - Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges. Be sure to watch them closely, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. The aroma of these cookies will fill your kitchen, tempting your taste buds with anticipation.
- Cool - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial, as it allows the cookies to firm up and achieve that perfect balance of chewiness and crispiness—dust with powdered sugar.1 tbsp Powdered sugar
