Printrecipe for oak leaf cookies sold by bauers bakery in NY in '50s
these were an almond paste or marzipan(i know i'm being redundant) cookie base in the shape of a oak leaf with a knockout bitter sweet chocolate covering. i've not been able to find out anything about the recipe, because i haven't tried in earnest till now that i'm retired, or the demise of the bakery chain. i did lunch at tony's italien restaurant (at the time the only 4 star restaurant west of the miss.) in st. louis in the late 80's and they did offer a very similar tasting cookie in the shape of a oak leaf, but not quite the same as the original. would love any help in this quest AND the winner will receive a box of the cookies when the recipe is verified....how's that???thank you very much.

I'm going to ask my friend Arthur Schwartz if he knows anything about these cookies. I'll let you know what he says.

I've spent all day wishing that I knew a recipe for these, because I would love a care package (marzipan is one of my favourite things), but I don't. If you get a recipe from some other source, will you share it with us? These sound lovely!

Please do share the recipe if you get it. I, too, am a marzipan devotee, especially when it's accompanied by dark chocolate...

Being a cookie snob I think they sound very very good. I love to make cookies and the almond sounds delicious. Post that recipe.
