      Title: Almond Crescent Cookies
 Categories: German, Cookie
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
    500 g  Marzipan
    200 g  Sugar
      1 pn Salt
      3    Egg whites
    100 g  Sliced almonds
    100 g  Dark chocolate
 
  Mix marzipan, sugar, salt and egg whites with an electric mixer until
  they are a soft mixture. Preheat oven to 175 degrees (Celsius
  temperature). Fill the mixture into a bag with a medium sized hole.
  Sprinkle the almonds onto a sheet of paper and press threads of the
  mixture out of the bag onto the almonds. Then roll the threads in the
  almonds, form them into little crescents and transfer to a baking
  sheet lined with paper. Bake them in the middle of the oven for 10 to
  15 minutes. Let cool completely. Melt the chocolate and dip one or
  both ends of the crescents into it. Store in a container that is NOT
  completely airtight. Makes about 50.
  
  This is actually a German recipe but I have seen the same cookies in
  Italy, too.
