Marzipan Cookies are awesome because they are slightly less rich than pure marzipan, use only three ingredients, and are chewy and delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 – 1 1/2 cups almond meal
• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 3 egg whites
• whole raw almonds (optional)

Directions

• In food processor mix almond meal and sugar
• Add egg whites until a stiff dough forms
• Remove from food processor and knead with a little almond meal as needed so that a workable dough forms
• Shape 1″ diameter balls and press down on cookie sheet with an almond in the middle if desired
• Bake at 350 for ~12 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden
• These store very well in an airtight container in freezer for a few weeks!
