MARZIPAN COOKIES
These were based upon Bergy's 'World's Best Cookies', but I think these truly may it! This large, soft cookie is like biting into warm marzipan. At least it is if you eat them as soon as they pop out of the oven (as I have been known to do!).

Steps:
- Crumble the marzipan into a bowl with your fingers. Mix in the egg white, icing sugar, flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, amaretto and a pinch of salt until you have a soft dough.
- Heat the oven to 175C/fan 155C/gas 3½. Cover 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Make 25 small balls from the dough with your hands and space them out on the baking sheets. Press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork to make a groove pattern.
- Brush the egg yolk glaze over the cookies. Now sprinkle with chopped almonds, if using. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure the marzipan is cold before you start working with it. This will make it easier to handle and less likely to stick to your hands.
- If the marzipan is too soft, you can add a little bit of powdered sugar to firm it up.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you don't have a cookie press, you can use a plastic bag with the corner cut off to pipe the dough. Simply fill the bag with dough and then squeeze it out onto the baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you overbake them, they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before you decorate them. This will help to prevent the icing from running.
Conclusion:
These marzipan cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a few simple tips, you can make these cookies like a pro!
