Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Rose water (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Mix well until they are evenly distributed.
Add the almond extract and rose water (if using) to the almond flour and sugar mixture.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the mixture forms a firm but pliable dough. Be careful not to add too much water as the dough should not be sticky.
Knead the dough gently with your hands until smooth.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls about the size of a small potato or cherry. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each marzipan ball lightly in the cocoa powder until evenly coated, giving them the appearance of tiny potatoes.
Tap off any excess cocoa powder and arrange the finished Marzipankartoffeln on a serving plate or store them in an airtight container.
Serve as a sweet treat or gift for friends and family. Enjoy!
