Ingredients

  • 100 g Marzipan / marzipan paste
  • 100 g Butter
  • 70 g Powdered sugar
  • 1 piece Egg yolk
  • 100 g Mampfmandeln
    Currently unavailable
  • 100 g Flour
  • 1 pinch Baking powder
  • 1 splash Rum
  • Some flour for rolling out

Here’s how to do it:

Break the marzipan into small pieces in a bowl using a fork and mash it.

Beat the butter and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy.

Add the egg yolk, ground almonds, and mashed marzipan. Gradually knead in the flour and baking powder. Add rum if desired.

Mix everything into a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, cut out cookies, and place them on the tray.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for 10–15 minutes.

Tipp:

The cookies can be beautifully decorated, for example with chocolate or powdered sugar. Stored in an airtight container, they stay fresh for several days.
