Ingredients
Homemade Matcha Marzipan (optional)
- 6 oz almonds blanched
- 6 oz powdered erythritol
- 1 large egg white
- 2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
Christmas Marzipan Cookies
- 8 oz marzipan
- 10 tablespoon powdered erythritol
- 12 tbsp. ground macadamia
- 5 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoon almonds blanched halves
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
Homemade Matcha Marzipan (optional)
- Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add matcha powder and mix. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg white.
- Add a quarter of the raw egg to the powdered almonds and process until it's completely incorporated. Add a little more of the egg white and process again. Keep adding the egg white, a little at a time, until the marzipan comes together in a clump. You might not use up all of the egg white. Be careful not to add too much, so that the marzipan doesn't become too sticky.
Christmas Marzipan Cookies
- Begin with separating the egg white from the yolk and lightly beating the egg white.
- Break 8 oz. marzipan into small pieces in a medium bowl. Add powdered erythritol, ground macadamia, almond flour, almond extract, and egg white. Using your hands, combine the ingredients into a dough. It will be quite sticky.
- Wrap the dough in parchment paper and refrigerate for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Using a fork, beat the egg yolk with a tsp. of water.
- Roll the dough into 30 small balls. Place them on the baking pan. Press 3 almond halves evenly around each cookie.
- Brush each cookie with the egg yolk. Bake for 20 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
