In this recipe, marzipan is not part of the dough but only serves as a filling.

The result is excellent!

Ingredients

Dough:

• 2 cups of plain flour
• 1 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of ground almonds
• 1 cup of maple syrup
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Filling:

• 1 cup of marzipan
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar

Decoration:

• chocolate topping
• confectionery decoration

Method

• Prepare a bowl and add the softened butter, maple syrup, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest. Beat everything together into a foam. Then, gradually beat the eggs into the mixture.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into another bowl. Mix the smaller half of this mixture into the prepared butter mixture. Add the ground almonds and stir well to combine.
• Add the remaining half of the flour with the baking powder in small portions and make a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for an hour.
• Place the cooled and rested dough on a rolling pin and roll out a thin sheet from which you will cut out individual pieces using a mold.
• Place the candy on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the oven, heated to 340°F, for 10 minutes.
• After baking, put the cookies on a flat surface and let them cool completely.
• Meanwhile, process the marzipan with 1 tablespoon of caster sugar to form a smooth mass. Use the rest of the icing sugar to dust the rolling pin on which you will roll out the marzipan.
• Cut out the same shapes from the marzipan sheet as you did from the dough you baked.
• Always glue two identical baked shapes with one marzipan shape that you insert between them.
• Finally, dip half of the cookies in the chocolate coating, sprinkle with decorations, and let set.
• Christmas cookies with marzipan are ready!
