makes 18 pieces
Make a dough from flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolks. Mix the marzipan and egg whites in a food processor until creamy. Be careful not to have any lumps, as the mixture will need to be piped through a piping bag. Then roll out the dough, not too thinly, and cut out cookies about 7.5 cm in size. Pipe a ring of marzipan and egg white mixture onto each cookie. If you like the rings a little higher, like I do, you’ll need to double the amount of marzipan and egg white. Spread the jam over the cookies. Bake the cookies in the oven at gas mark 3 (electric oven about 170/180 degrees Celsius) for about 30 minutes. When the marzipan has turned a nice golden brown after this time, the cookies are done. So it’s best to keep an eye on them regularly; it really depends on the oven. If you want, you can melt some chocolate coating and decorate the finished cookies with it by piping thin chocolate threads over them. To do this, pour the melted chocolate coating into a freezer bag, cut off a small corner, and spread it over the top. This will make about 18 cookies.
