Christmas Cookies: Linz Marzipan Strips
The perfect christmas cookies: linz marzipan strips recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 2 piece Eggs
- 180 g Butter
- 80 g Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 250 g Flour
- 225 g Currant jelly
- 300 g Marzipan
- Separate the eggs and set aside the egg whites. Knead the egg yolks, 150 g butter in flakes, salt, 50 g sugar, vanilla sugar and flour to form a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and put in the fridge for approx. 1 hour.
- Mix the remaining sugar and butter together. Grate the marzipan and stir in the egg white. Fill into a piping bag with a small star nozzle.
- Roll out the dough on a floured work surface into a large rectangle, approx. 28 x 35 cm and approx. 2 – 3 mm thin. Cut the dough into 4 cm long strips. Place them next to each other on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Squirt the marzipan mixture along both long sides of the dough strips.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees (or fan oven 175 degrees) on the middle rack for about 10 – 13 minutes. Let cool down briefly and then fill the middle of the strips with the smoothly stirred jelly. Let cool and set. Cut each strip into about 10 pieces.
