And I think it's better that you didn't add the almond extract as I find it can be a bit too strong.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40113988791561595822011-05-03T20:19:43.577+10:002011-05-03T20:19:43.577+10:00This is an idea I would never have thought of!

They look lovely and it's good to hear Sylvia enjoyed making them too. I only added 2-3 drops of almond essence to my marzipan which I found was just about right, slightly almondy but not artificial tasting.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84125157163991495472011-04-26T17:10:24.505+10:002011-04-26T17:10:24.505+10:00Oh between you and Choclette, I really want to giv...Oh between you and Choclette, I really want to give marizpan making a try now.

And I bet it did add a delicious texture to the cookies. Wish you'd included an "inside" shot of the cookies so we could see all the melty marzipan and chocolate goodness! But Sylvia's adorable little hand next to the mat of marzipan will have to do instead. :)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85300199201379935772011-04-24T04:39:11.582+10:002011-04-24T04:39:11.582+10:00These look delicious!

I'm not keen on using almond extract - however little I use it always seems to add an artificial flavour - so I'm sure your subtle flavouring is better!Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.com
