Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the blanched almonds lengthwise in half and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups blanched almond flour, 1 cup powdered sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk to distribute evenly.
Beat 2 large egg whites lightly, then add to the almond mixture with 2 teaspoons almond extract and ½ teaspoon rose water (if using). Mix until smooth.
Shape the marzipan dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Separate the large egg and beat the egg white gently. Brush each cookie ball with the egg white.
Press three halved blanched almonds onto each cookie.
Bake for 15 minutes or until set and lightly golden on the bottom.
Cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
