Marzipan Cookies

Ingredients (40 cookies)

•3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

•3.5 oz marzipan, cut in small pieces

•1 egg

•1/3 cup sugar

•1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

•1/2 tsp almond extract

•1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

•1/2 cup chopped almonds

•1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions 

•Preheat oven to 375°F.

•Beat butter, marzipan, egg, sugar and extracts medium speed for 3 minutes until fluffy. Then on low, beat in flour, coconut and almonds just until blended

•Roll dough into 1-inch balls (or use a small cookie scoop) and place on an ungreased baking sheet. If you prefer flatter cookies, slightly press down on each ball with the bottom of a glass (I sprayed the glass bottom with canola oil).

•Bake for 10 minutes and remove to wire rack. Store in the freezer.
