Put flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, grated lemon and orange peel in a mixing bowl. Add 1 egg and butter in pieces. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth short pastry. Wrap in foil and chill for 20-30 minutes. Coarsely chop 30 g pistachios. Coarsely grate the marzipan.
Separate 1 egg. Mix poppy seed mixture and egg white. Add marzipan and pistachios and stir in. Halve the remaining pistachios, also halve the cherries. Knead the short pastry briefly and roll out 2-3 mm thin on a floured work surface. Cut out circles (approx. 6 cm Ø). Knead the dough again, roll out and cut out further circles. Put approx. 1 tsp. poppy seed filling in the middle of each circle, fold up the edges of the dough on 3 sides and press them against the filling. Place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Put 1/2 cherry on each biscuit. Mix egg yolk and cream and spread on the folded up sides of the biscuits.
