These simple drop cookies are a fresh take on sugar cookies. Cocoa powder provides deep, rich flavours, while marzipan lends a deliciously chewy texture and subtle almond taste.

Time 10m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
7 ounces marzipan, cut into chunks
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line a baking sheet iwth parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine both sugars and marzipan. Process until they resemble a fine sand, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add butter, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt and egg.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth, scraping down the bowl, once during mixing, about 2 minutes.
  • Add flour and cocoa powder and mix until incorporated, scraping down once during mixing, about 1 minute. The dough should be very stiff. Baking in batches, drop 1 tablespoons balls of dough on prepared sheet, leaving about 2-inches around all sides. bake on the oven's lower rack until cookies are flat and have a crackled surface, about 10 minutes.
  • The cookies will be very soft. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. If desired, once cookies are cool, dust them with powdered sugar.
