These cookies were delicious! I loved the combination of the almond flavor from the marzipan and the sweetness of the chocolate chips. They were also very easy to make, which is always a plus. I will definitely be making these again.

I thought these cookies were just okay. The marzipan filling was a bit too dense for my taste, and the chocolate chips didn't really add anything to the flavor. I probably won't make these again.

I'm not a big fan of marzipan, but I thought these cookies were pretty good. The chocolate chips helped to balance out the sweetness of the marzipan, and the cookies had a nice chewy texture. I would definitely make them again.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The marzipan filling was smooth and creamy, and the chocolate chips added a nice touch of flavor. I would probably make them again, but I would use less sugar next time.
