Instructions
Working time approx. 1 hour; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 2 hours
Cut the marzipan into pieces, place it in a mixing bowl with the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, egg, and orange zest, and beat using the whisk attachment of a hand mixer. Mix the flour and cornstarch together, sift half over the foam and stir in. Sift in the other half and knead in. Cover the dough and chill for one hour. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Dust the work surface with flour. Knead the dough and roll out to a thickness of 3 mm. Cut out moons and place them on the baking tray at 1 cm intervals. Chill for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the cookies in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool. Glue two cookies together on the underside with orange marmalade. Stack the moons on the wire rack. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the orange liqueur until smooth, pour it into a small clear plastic bag, and cut off a tiny corner. Use the glaze to draw lines across the moons and let them dry for 1 hour.
