- Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the balls on it with some space between them. Flatten each ball slightly.
- Now press heart-shaped indentations into the cookies using ice cream sticks, modeling tools or your thumbs.
- Bake the marzipan cookies for 12 minutes at 200 °C (400°F )top/bottom heat.
