Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Marzipan
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the marzipan into small pieces.
Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the marzipan. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness (optional).
Store the marzipan cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
