1. put sugar, egg whites, marzipan paste, lemon zest and baking oil bitter almond in a large enough bowl. Mix with the dough hook of a hand mixer until a smooth dough is formed.
2. form small rolls (about 7 cm) with moistened hands, rolling in flaked almonds and shaping into croissants (horns).
Place the marzipan croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a heated oven at 175 °C on the middle shelf for 12 – 15 minutes.
Take out and cool briefly on the tray. Cool the croissants completely on a cooling rack.
Tip for you: try the marzipan croissants the Italian way: replace the almond flakes with pine nuts and roll the shaped dough croissants in them before baking. In the original recipe these cookies are called “Pignoli”.
