About

Baked marzipan is wonderful because it becomes soft and chewy with a crispy edge. The baking time must be very brief and at a high temperature in order to achieve this. If you prefer a crunchy wafer, you could lower the oven temperature and cook them for a little longer. The sweet jam filling is divine!
