    German Marzipan Stollen

    These Stollen bites keep very well for several weeks. If you can resist them, they never last more than a couple of days in our house.

      Hi there. I love the sound of this recipe and am keen to try it this weekend. I live in the UK and was wondering what type of flour you use? Is it plain, self raising or bread flour with yeast? Thanks. Gill

        Hi Gill, I am excited that you want to try my recipe. This little stollen bites are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. I use all-purpose flour which is plain flour in the UK. I hope you will like the cookies and hope you will let me know how they turned out for you. Happy to help, in case you run into questions.

          Thanks so much for your reply! I am busy making my own marzipan right now then attempting the stollen bites this afternoon. Very exciting indeed 😀 one quick question please... 14 tbsp butter, any idea what that equates to in oz? Thanks so much again. Gill

      Hi There

      I'm really interested in making these delicious mini stollen bites.
      Can I please ask if you are using almond flour or ground almonds?
      I am unsure if they are the same.
      Thank you in advance

        Hi Androulla, I am using ground almonds, this makes the texture in my opinion more delicious. You could also use almond meal or flour but probably need to reduce the liquid a bit as it is finer.

      My family loves all desserts which include marzipan. I am so happy to find your cookie recipe.. I wish you had a little more visual information. Photographs of the rolling of the dough / size of the rectangle … from the final photograph the cookies look very slim and your 1/4” thick dough yields 50 cookies..that’s amazing 🤩
      My dough is cooling in the fridge.My marzipan filling is ready. Should I wait for a reply
      Maybe I’ll just go ahead..Thanks in advance, wishing you a Happy New Year from 🇨🇦

        Hi Aida, Happy New Year! Sorry for the late reply. I hope your cookies turned out great and your family enjoyed them. I will add step-by-step photos and a video tutorial in the future. Thank you for pointing out that this recipe needs some more visuals.
