These delightful marzipan cookies offer a delicious way to use leftover marzipan, transforming it into a batch of soft, moist, and intensely flavorful treats. Requiring only a handful of additional ingredients, these cookies are surprisingly simple to make. The predominant flavor is a bright, zesty lemon, which beautifully complements the underlying notes of the marzipan.

The final taste will depend on the type of marzipan used; a plain marzipan will lend a delicate almond flavor, while those infused with rose water or orange blossom water will impart their distinctive floral aromas. Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations to create your own signature cookie. Orange zest, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice can be used instead of lemon zest.

Ensure that the flavors you choose work well with the existing marzipan flavor. Unlike traditional cookies, these are made with almond flour and coconut flour. For those with dietary restrictions, it's always a good idea to check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they haven't been processed in a facility that handles gluten-containing products.

These cookies are so delicious, they might not last long! However, if you do manage to resist temptation, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. For longer storage, wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap or foil and freeze them for up to a month.

To thaw, simply transfer them to the refrigerator overnight or leave them on the counter for a few hours. Enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors in every bite of these unique marzipan cookies.
