Zum Bestäuben - wälzen
- powdered sugar
Preparation:
Prepare the dough:
- Chop the marzipan into small pieces so that it mixes well later.
- Separate the eggs and put the yolks into a large mixing bowl.
- Add flour, ground almonds, butter, bourbon vanilla sugar, powdered sugar, sugar, the crushed marzipan, and the bitter almond flavoring.
- Knead the ingredients into a smooth, pliable dough. This can be done by hand or with a hand mixer fitted with dough hooks.
Chill the dough:
- Divide the dough into three portions, form balls from them and wrap them in cling film.
- Place the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to work with later.
Shaping the dough:
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees fan-assisted (or 180 degrees top/bottom heat).
- Roll each portion of dough into strands about 1 cm thick and flatten them slightly.
- Cut the strands into pieces approximately 2 cm long using a knife.
Bake:
- Place the pieces of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
- Bake the dream pieces for about 14 minutes. They should remain pale and only turn slightly golden yellow at the edges.
Dust with powdered sugar:
- Let the cookies cool briefly, but while they are still warm, carefully roll them in powdered sugar.
