Something similar happened with these cookies.
Last week I started out to make Batternburg cake, it’s a 2 check cake covered in Marzipan. The Marzipan, recipe called for powdered Almonds and powdered Sugar. I dint have those in powdered form so, to save time I decided to powder them together.
The two did not grind well to the fine texture that is needed for Marzipan dough, ideally it should have.
So anyways, I decided to add milk to make a smooth paste but in vain! Instead, I ended up with a very thick and sticky mass of roughly grounded almonds, sugar, cocoa (was making chocolate marzipan) and milk. It was certain that the Marzipan was not coming together so I stored the mass for later use. Had already decided of using it to make cookies.
On the day of baking, I added egg and flour to the failed Marzipan mix and made these cookies.
They turned out awesome, was really happy how a failed result of one recipe could be turned into a delicious product of another.
