my favorite cookies, makes about 40 cookies.

Grate the zest from the lemon. Mix the flour with the baking powder, dice the butter, and add it to the dough along with the other ingredients and the lemon zest. Knead everything together with your hands. Cover the dough and chill for 1-2 hours, then roll it out and cut out circles. Place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 175°C (top/bottom heat) for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool. In the meantime, knead the marzipan with the icing sugar and roll it out to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Cut out jagged circles. Mix the jam with the raspberry liqueur until smooth. Spread the jam over the cooled cookies, place the marzipan circles on top, sprinkle with icing sugar, and adhere the macadamia nuts with a dollop of jam.
