Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces marzipan
  • Non-alcoholic flavoring (vanilla extract or almond extract)
  • Granulated sugar (or brown sugar or coconut sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and flavorings: Mix in 2 large eggs (or your chosen substitute) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in marzipan: Chop 8 ounces of marzipan into small pieces and fold it into the cookie dough gently, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Shape the cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
