Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter, cut into cubes, and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 mm. Cut out cookie shapes using your desired cookie cutters.
5
Roll out the marzipan paste thinly and cut out circles to match the size of the cookies. Place the marzipan rounds in the center of each cookie, pressing down gently.
6
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
7
Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the tops of the cookies for decoration. Allow the chocolate to set completely.
8
Arrange the cookies on a beautiful platter before serving and enjoy!
