Let's Begin!

Mandelhörnchen

• First, Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, place the marzipan, ground almonds, powdered sugar, almond extract, fresh lemon juice, and egg white.
• Knead the mixture until it comes together in a thick but not overly sticky dough. If it's too sticky add a little more ground almonds to it.
• To make the almond horns, portion the dough off into pieces and roll them into 1-inch balls. Then roll each ball into a small log, tapering it off so each end is a little thinner.
• Use a pastry brush to brush egg white all over the cookie dough.
• Roll each cookie into the slivered almonds. Bend each cookie into the shape of a crescent and place them on a lined cookie sheet about an inch and a half apart.

Let's bake them and dip them!

• Bake the almond horns for 15-20 minutes or until the tips are about to turn golden.
• Remove from oven, and let them cool completely.
• Once cooled, dip each end of the almond horns into the chocolate. Place the almond horns back on the cookie sheet or other surface to let the chocolate harden.
• Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
