Tips:

  • Soften the marzipan: To make it easier to mix with the other ingredients, microwave the marzipan for a few seconds or knead it until it becomes pliable.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting or glaze set properly.
