German Christmas marzipan cookies, Bethmännchen, easy homemade recipe.
Ingredients:
14ounces marzipan
1.25 cups blanched almonds, halved
1 large egg white
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to a toasty 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Take the marzipan and knead it thoroughly. Then, divide it into approximately forty 1 1/2-inch cubes that are all the same size. Roll each cube into a ball and shape it into a round cylinder with a pointed end.
Place 3 almond halves, pointy side up, on top of each marzipan cylinder.
Lightly beat one egg white in a cup, then brush each cookie with the egg white before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the almonds turn lightly browned on top, approximately 15 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack before storing in airtight containers.
