Trying To Decipher A Dutch Recipe...
Decorating By SweetInspirations Updated 21 Dec 2006 , 5:36pm by SweetInspirations
I have come across what I think could be a great cookie recipe, but am having a little problem understanding it.
I know that it has 2 different doughs you work with. It calls for "marzipan" which I purchased in the little tube at the store. What I dont understand is, Do I add the flour, butter sugar and egg yolk to the tube of marzipan to make the second dough? Or us it as it comes out of the tube?
Here is the link to the recipe:

Looks like the marzipan is all by itself, even in the picture. One dough is the flour, margarine, sugar, egg yolk and peel, the other is rolled marzipan.
Do a search with the same cookie name and you might find a better recipe/translation if this is still a bit confusing.

Thank You!!! Thats what I was thinking. It just seems so little that is in the tube. But with the cookie dough translated, it really is a small recipe.
Y'all are great 
I done a search on the name of this cookie and it is an adorable little flower!
Well, I have made the cookie and I am pretty embarrassed. I cant get up enough nerve to even post a picture..... The cookies shape totally flatted and flopped! The cookie tastes like a shortbread cookie with the marzipan on top. The taste is pretty good tho.... they just look like heck.....
I will try this again, but maybe with a cookie recipe that I am more familliar with that I know will hold it's shape.
Thanks again for the help!!
