Yield
Depends on size of cookie cutter
Directions
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Knead food coloring into Marzipan, until a true black is achieved.
- Form into 6" disk. Lay disk between two sheets of wax paper and roll out to 1/8" thickness. To keep marzipan smooth, peel off wax paper when it wrinkles and use a new sheet. Alternative method: Roll out marzipan on a counter top that has been dusted with confectioner's sugar. Use palm of hand, moving in small circles to rub out any sugar spots.
- Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place on cookie sheet. Dry uncovered for 24 hours before using to decorate.
