Marzipan Filled Cookies


Here are the cookies, pre-baking, looking quite dark because of the brown sugar in them. I was also supposed to grate chocolate over the marzipan [which I'm sure shouldn't have been as much as I used but I didn't measure it I just cut smaller circles out!] inside but as I had none I just put the marzipan in alone!! The end cookies are also supposed to have white chocolate drizzled over them but again, my cupboards were devoid of chocolate to I settled for cinnamon which actually worked really well!!


Makes 12


150g butter
150g brown sugar
1 egg
250g flour
100g marzipan
100g grated chocolate
80g white cooking chocolate


1. Preheat the oven to 190c/375f/gas mark 5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. 

2. Cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and then mix in the flour. 

3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough about 5mm thick. Cut out circles of approx. 8cm/3in. [I just used my hands to flatten it and a glass to cut circles and guessed the size!] 

4. Place half of the dough circles on the baking tray; place a piece of marzipan on top of each and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Cover each with a second circle of dough. 

5. Firmly press the edges of the filled cookies together and bake for about 10-12 minutes in the center of the oven. Cool and garnish with melted white cooking chocolate. [Like I said, I just used a sprinkle of cinnamon here!]
