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.

- Preheat a fan forced oven to 170C/340F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Toast rolled oats in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Remove and cool to room temperature.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

These sound like perfect treat for an afternoon coffee or tea break, well, actually any time of the day! The marzipan makes them look so pretty!
How nice it would be to have one of these right now. Very gorgeous cookies, Angie!

These cookies look delicious, Angie! What a nice flavor combination.
Fantastic inviting cookies, dear Angie! I love marzipan & star anise too, so does my husband!
MMMMM! These are great to be enjoyed when it is Sinterklaas soon! Yumm! I also love the combo of spelt flour with oat flour, double yum!
I love these cookies Angie, perfect for the holidays!
You had me at anise. Love that flavour and these cookies look great.
I've always loved anise Angie - especially in a pizzelles so I think these would be a favorite of mine. The combination of anise and chocolate sounds so interesting - I would love to try these! Thanks so much!
These look so gourmet and delicious!! Christmas is coming up and these seem like they might be a great snack. :-) Thanks for sharing, Angie!
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.
I don't know how you come up with all these unique and healthy recipes, Angie, I'm in awe.
i haven't seen marzipan used in a cookie recipe before--very tasty concept!
These cookies look amazing! They sound perfect for the holidays coming up.
Lovely little mouthfuls, full of flavors I love, Angie!
I was just reading about biscochitos (NM state cookie) which also uses anise. These look so festive and a perfect holiday cookie as well!
Angie,
these gems look devour-able! x
Looks good, my kids love it.
lovely and festive
Oh, my mouth is so watering right now! These look amazing! The texture must be so good. I like anise in moderation...I'm sure I could use a bit less...
Yum! They look delicious.
I love these!
Anise is one of my favourite things, but I have never tried in cookies, so now can't wait to make them :)
Love how tempting and delicious these cookies look and sound. They would go well with a steaming cup of coffee! :)
Oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites! LOVE the addition of star anise and nuts! These cookies are most definitely my type of cookie - DELICIOUS! Cheers!
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.
This looks like a leveled-up Oatmeal cookies!
MAN, your food always looks so GOOD!! - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
These cookies look perfect to go with my afternoon cup of tea! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I am a fan of anise and can't wait to try these. So pretty too, Angie!
Wonderful looking cookies, I would love one right now with the coffee.
Love these little munches! So cute! I can pop these in my mouth by a dozen.
Yes bring on the Anise flavour, I love it!
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!
The anise flavor with the chocolate, almonds and oatmeal sounds like a wonderful combination, Angie! They would look so pretty on a holiday cookie platter too.
This is such a unique recipe! It looks so delicious! I love the idea of combining oats and anise in a cookie :)
Wow, this is a fun recipe! They sound delicious and I can't wait to try something new! Thanks for sharing and your pics are terrific!
Chewy, anise, chocolate, marzipan. . . what's not to love?
The cookies look superb, I love anise flavor in biscotti, so I think I would love these cookies..
I've never used marzipan, so I am curious to learn more about that. These cookie do look like the perfect bite!
I love anise flavors - I'm intrigued by the addition of chopped marzipan to these cookies.
We love anise in our biscotti Angie, so I know that my family would love these cookies!
