Decadent, melt in your mouth

Too good to be true

My Marzipan Cookies.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Gather the following ingredients and

Cream together:

   2 sticks of  UNSALTED BUTTER,

   2/3 C. Sugar

   Pinch of salt

Beat in:

   1 Egg

Combine and add:

   1 tsp. Vanilla

   2 and 1/2 cups sifted Flour

   1 TB fresh lemon juice

   1 TB grated orange rind.

Mix well until ingredients are well blended. Chill dough for 3-4 hours.

Roll out and cut round cookie shapes, about 3 inches in diameter. Stack 2 cookies, cutting out center hole in the  top cookie.  Fill center with Marzipan paste or home made preserves.

Bake (350) until lightly browned on edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.

I can't resist them, maybe you can.

Happy baking my dear
