Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine almond paste, corn syrup, powdered sugar, and orange blossom water. Mix until smooth. Divide into small, teaspoon-sized balls and set aside.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cream cheese until combined. Stir in melted butter and oil until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Assemble the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, place a marzipan ball in the center, and fold the dough around it to seal. Roll the filled dough ball in the crushed sliced almonds, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a variation, you can substitute the almond extract with another flavor extract of your choice.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
