I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh ingredients as it helps to achieve the best results. The US measurements in cups are the estimate and I can not guarantee the best results.
Prepare large baking trays lined with baking paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl mix flour and butter until you get crumbly consistency.
Add egg yolks, marzipan, confectioners' sugar and almond extract and mix together until you get a unified dough.
Wrap cookie dough in a cling film and place in a fridge for at least 1 hour.
After 1 hour, sprinkle a little bit of flour on a working surface. Divide cookie dough into 4 portions and roll each portion 4mm thin (0.16 inch).
Using cookie cutters, cut out different shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Chill prepared cookies in the fridge for 20 minutes.
When you are ready to bake, preheat an oven to 180C (356F).
Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes until golden on edges.
When cookies are ready remove them from the oven and place cookies on a cooling rack.
