- Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 150 grams powdered sugar
- 150 grams Marzipan
- 4 centiliters Rum
- 200 grams finely ground almonds
- 100 grams blanched, whole almonds
- egg whites (for brushing)
- 30 blanched, whole almonds (halved)
Preparation
1.
In a bowl, beat the eggs whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, stir the marzipan with the rum until smooth. Fold the marzipan mixture and ground almonds into the egg whites. Knead into a soft dough and chill for 30 minutes.
2.
Preheat a convection oven to 160°C (approximately 320°F).
3.
Shape the dough into small, round balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet with some distance between. Lightly flatten the cookie dough balls and add a halved almond. Bake until light golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cool completely and serve dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
