Beat the egg whites with the sugar very well. Add the pulp of the scraped vanilla pod or the vanilla sugar. Coarsely grate the marzipan on a kitchen grater and fold into the foamy mass.
Add the 2 tablespoons of quark (prevents the macaroons from hardening), the cinnamon, cardamom and the amaretto. Then fold in the almonds.
Use a teaspoon to put small heaps on the baking sheets. Important: When placing on the tray, the piles must not diverge. If this happens, add some almonds again. Bake all 3 trays at 125 ° C (convection) at once for about 50 minutes.
