Marzipan Cookies [gluten free]
www.tastesofhealth.eu
I didn’t even plan to bake these biscuits. I wanted to make Italian almond cookies but
didn’t read the recipe carefully enough when I came across it some time ago, and didn’t
notice the batter had to rest for 12 hours. I simply didn’t have the time as I already had
a craving for almond tasting biscuits. So I had no choice, but to find a satisfactory
replacement.
In one of my Polish cookbooks* I found a marzipan cookies recipe that met my needs,
meaning they could be ready to eat in 30 minutes. I did change it slightly: I used half of
the sugar and omitted the chocolate glazing as I felt they would be sweet enough
anyway. I was extremely happy with the result: the biscuits were crunchy on the outside
but soft and chewy on the inside. And even though I am still planning to make the real
Italian almond cookies, I know, I will make this fast and delicious marzipan variation
often, too.
INGREDIENTS (for 25 pieces):
250g marzipan, cut into pieces,
75g sugar,
1 egg white,
0.5 tsp grated lemon rind,
0.5 tsp almond flavoring,
Icing sugar for sprinkling.

METHOD:
1. Put all the ingredients (except from the icing sugar) to a bowl and beat with an
electric mixer until everything is well combined.
2. Preheat an oven to 180 Celsius degrees (160 for fan ovens) and line a baking tray
with parchment paper.
3. Take a walnut size portion of the batter and with wet hands roll into a ball, place on
the tray and flatten slightly; repeat with the rest of the batter.
4. Bake the biscuits in the hot oven for 20 minutes; when cooled down, sprinkle with
icing sugar.
