Zubereitung von Marzipan Christmas Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, prepare your marzipan by kneading it until soft and pliable. Use a food processor or a rolling pin to make it smooth and easily spreadable.
- Roll out the marzipan to about 1/8 inch thickness and use cookie cutters to create shapes to decorate your cookies.
- Attach the marzipan shapes to the cookies using a small amount of edible glue or apricot jam.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
