Ingredients

Method

In bowl, beat together marzipan, icing and granulated sugar and egg whites until smooth. Stir in flour until smooth thick paste.

Place nuts in small bowl. With wet hands, roll dough by 1 tbsp (15 mL) into balls; roll in nuts, pressing to adhere.

Place, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Bake in centre of 325°F (160°C) oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store layered between waxed paper in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
