I was going to make some marcipan cookies, but realize I'm out of marcipan. However, I just bought lots of almonds, so I looked for a recipe.

If you can't get marcipan in your supermarket, you can make it yourself. This recipe below is one without eggwhite, there are pictures of the process. Read the reply by Paul, second last reply, and there's an explanation of why you would use eggwhite.

Once you have the marcipan, you can make "Kransekage" - it's a tradition here for New Years Eve. When the clock strikes midnight, this cake is served, along with Champaigne.

The recipe for this is:

500 gram marcipan
200 gram powdered sugar (icing sugar)
1 eggwhite (small egg)

For the icing you use:
1 eggwhite
1/2 teaspoon of winegar
150 gram powdered sugar

You can make rings and build a tower, or can make any shape you like. Here's a video of how Mette Blomsterberg makes them.

Marcipan you can also use to cover the top of cake, just roll it out thin.

Enjoy!
