Dead or live, they are delicious.
I used a honey marzipan, which is not actually as sweet as the normal one. As a result the cookies are not extremely sweet, and have a light honey note to it.
Marzipan cookies
(recipe from Rapunzel website)
200 g flour
40 g of brown sugar
100 g cold butter
100 g of marzipan
1 egg yolk
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until the dough is consistent. If it is too dry and not holding together, add a bit of cold water (1 or 2 tablespoons). Refrigerate for at least one hour before shaping and cooking. When refrigerated, roll out the though thinly and use the cookie cutter of your choice. Bake the cookies at 180°C until golden (less than 10 minutes). Let them cool down before decorating if you wish.
Hello :) I'm not a marzipan fan at ALL... but these are gorgeous, I love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Actually the marzipan taste was very subtle. :)
