Christmas recipe
When snow falls softly outside and the scent of cinnamon fills the air, Christmas is just around the corner. This time of year warms the heart and brings a smile to the face—memories come alive. We're giving you this Christmas feeling in the form of a recipe to bake at home.
Preparation:
Finely
grate the marzipan. Knead together the sugar, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and marzipan. Then add the almonds, flour, and butter in small pieces and work everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in foil and refrigerate for about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut out circles about 5 cm in diameter. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
Gently warm the jam, spread it on half of the cookies and distribute evenly. For the filling, mix the butter, powdered sugar, melted chocolate, cocoa, and rum into a smooth cream. Spread this on the jam layer and assemble the cookies.
Finally, coat the pieces with cake glaze and garnish with pistachios.
