Bethmännchen (German Marzipan Christmas Cookies)

I put this in the oven while preparing a dish to go with it, like a stir-fry or chicken.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 40
Yield: 40 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 14 ounces marzipan
  2. 1 ¼ cups blanched almonds, halved
  3. 1 large egg white

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Knead marzipan well and divide into about forty 1 1/2-inch cubes of equal size. Roll each cube into a ball and shape into a round cylinder with a point.
  3. Push 3 halved almonds into each marzipan cylinder so the pointy sides of the almonds are facing the top.
  4. Beat egg white lightly in a cup and brush each cookie with egg white. Set onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated until the tops of the almonds are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in airtight containers.
