Anise Oatmeal Cookies with Marzipan

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

These chewy oatmeal cookies have a distinctive anise flavour and slight nutty taste. They are glazed with milk chocolate, topped with toasted chopped almonds, and low in sugar. We love these cookies, but if you aren't a fan of anise flavour, then these cookies are not for you.

CookiesTopping
  • 175 g Old fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp Einkorn, ground into flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Anise powder
  • 100 g Marzipan, finely diced
  • 100 g Butter, softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 5 packet NuNaturals white stevia powder
  • 1 tbsp Raw brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 150 g Milk chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Chopped almonds, toasted
  1. Preheat a fan forced oven to 170C/340F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Toast rolled oats in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Remove and cool to room temperature.
  3. Combine toasted rolled oats, ground einkorn, baking powder and anise powder in a bowl. Finely dice the marzipan. Cream together the diced marzipan, softened butter, egg, stevia, raw brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture until combined.
  4. Drop tablespoonful of mixture onto prepared trays and press down slightly, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden. Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Place the chopped milk chocolate in a bowl and set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. Coat the cookies with melted chocolate and sprinkle with some toasted almonds.

As always, love it. I really enjoy marzipan but it is under appreciated and under used here in the states.

Oh anise powder? How interesting. I've made cookies with ground fennel seeds, but I've not really come across anise. These sound delightful and look really cute too and anything with marzipan gets my vote.

That is a perfect combination of flavors Angie. We use anise seeds in Indian cooking so much, I absolutely adore the liquorish flavor it provide. You have paired it beautifully with the marzipan. I would love to take a bit at it. Looks amazing.
Pinning to bake.

Anise is the flavor of a New Mexico Christmas cookies called biscochitos, but I've never seen any other cookies that use it. I love that flavor and I love yours cookies! The chocolate and almonds make them even more irresistible!
