A cherished family recipe, these cookies are a delightful blend of sweet marzipan, crunchy almonds, and a hint of rosewater.

Cómo preparar Bethmaennchen German Christmas Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Finely grind 1 cup of almonds using a food processor.
In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces of marzipan (crumbled), 1 large egg (lightly beaten), 1 teaspoon rosewater, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup ground almonds, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined.
Separate the remaining 1 large egg. Set the egg white aside and beat the yolk until light and frothy.
Roll the marzipan mixture into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
Gently press three almond halves into the sides of each ball, evenly spaced and standing upright. (For store-bought chopped almonds, use a small amount to create a similar effect.)
Brush each ball with the beaten egg yolk.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
