BETHMAENNCHEN - GERMAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES
My family first had these yummy almond cookies (pronounced "BAIT-men-chen") when a German exchange student made them for us at Christmas time so she could have a taste of home. She blanched, skinned, and halved the almonds herself, which took most of the preparation time. When pressed for time I have substituted store-bought chopped almonds, but I'm told that that's anathema for anyone who wants the real thing. This prep time excludes preparing the almonds.

BETHMAENNCHEN (TRADITIONAL GERMAN MARZIPANE COOKIE)
This sweet, soft cookie is very popular during the holiday season in Germany and can be found on almost every cookie tray. It is super easy to make, too. Traditionally it uses three almonds per cookie, but we prefer to use just one, so this is a bit different than the others. If you like, try these with other nuts or maybe a flavoured marzipane. NOTE: These need to chill for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl beat egg white and powdered sugar with a wire whisk until thick and creamy. You may also use your electric mixer for this, but be careful not to overbeat the egg whites, you dont want them to form peaks. Add the ground nuts or almonds and stir to combine.
- Knead in the marzipan until a soft, but not too sticky dough forms. If dough is too sticky to handle, add a few more tbs ground nuts until the consistency is easy to work with.
- Chill dough for about 30 minutes.
- With dampened hands (this is important, you have to redampen your hands every once in a while or this will turn into a nightmare) form 40 small balls and place them on a paper lined cookie sheet.
- In a small bowl beat the egg yolk, then use this to glaze each cookie.
- Press one whole blanched almond atop each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 150°C/300°F for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned, but not too dry.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat to 300ºF Break marzipan into small pieces in a mixing bowl. Sift the powdered sugar over the marzipan and add the ground almonds, flour, rose water and egg white. Use your hands to combine ingredients in to a dough. (The dough will be somewhat sticky but it will get firm after being chilled. If too sticky, add some more ground almonds and powdered sugar.)
- 2. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- 3. Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of walnuts. Place the balls on a lined cookie sheet and press 3 almond halves evenly around each cookie, pointed side up.
- 4. Brush each cookie with the egg yolk mixture and bake for about 15 minutes until the egg wash turns golden in color. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
