Marzipan Crescent Cookies

Not your average cookie

Ingredients

• 250 g marzipan (almond paste)
• 1 egg white
• 120 g powdered sugar
• 40 g flour

Additionally: - shaved almonds for decoration

Instructions

Cut the marzipan into small pieces and combine them with the powdered sugar and flour. Add the egg white bit by bit. Initially the dough will be very sticky, and it’s possible that you don’t need all of the egg white.

Shape crescents with 12 g each. When all the cookies are shaped, first pre-heat the over to 350°F (180°C). In the meantime coat the cookies with some water and lightly press the shaved almonds onto them.

Bake in the over for about 7 minutes. After taking them out, let them cool entirely on the cookie tray, as they will be too brittle to move until they are cold.

Tip: To rule over the sticky mess, it’s easiest to cover hands and work area with powdered sugar rather than flour.
