终于收工咯！在这里向大家拜个早年， 祝大家新年快乐，万事如意！
Ingredients
225g almond paste {marzipan}
225g butter, softened
30g granulated sugar
30g confectioner’s sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond emulsion or extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
Orange gel color
whole cloves
green
plastic icing (for leafs)
Instructions
1. Soften the almond paste in the microwave. About 20
seconds should do. Combine the butter and almond paste and beat until well
combined.
2. Add both sugars and beat until fluffy. Add the egg
and vanilla and enough of the gel paste to tint the mixture red.
3. Finally sift together the flour and salt and add it
to the creamed mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is not
dark enough, add more coloring.
4. Make 10g little balls. Drop them onto a
parchment-lined cookie sheet. Insert a clove as the stem. Chill for one hour.
5. After chilling, bake at 180C for 10-12 minutes.
6. Roll out green plastic icing and cut into leaf shape. Attach leafs on cookies.
