How to Make Marzipan Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat well until combined.
  3. Mix in 2 cups rolled oats, ½ cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup chocolate chips. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes to firm up (optional).
  7. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Dip a fork in cold water and gently press down on each cookie to create a criss-cross pattern.
  10. Smooth any cracks around the edges with your fingers.
  11. Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them as baking time may vary.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
