Bethmännchen (German Marzipan Christmas Cookies)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Knead marzipan well and divide into about forty 1 1/2-inch cubes of equal size. Roll each cube into a ball and shape into a round cylinder with a point.
• Push 3 halved almonds into each marzipan cylinder so the pointy sides of the almonds are facing the top.
• Beat egg white lightly in a cup and brush each cookie with egg white. Set onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated until the tops of the almonds are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in airtight containers.
