Preheat oven to 160ºC and line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
-
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a microwave-safe mixing bowl and mix. Break the marzipan into small pieces, add to the bowl and toss until coated. Toss a few times as you’re mixing the marzipan in, it looks like a huge amount as you’re adding it until you shake it.
-
Make a well in the centre and add the wet ingredients.
-
Place the uncovered bowl in the microwave for one minute. Gently mix the ingredients. Return to the microwave for another minute and stir again - the marzipan should have softened into the dough and be relatively smooth when you stir.
-
Stir in your chocolate chips, as the dough is warm, they’ll start to melt instantly, creating the marble look as you stir.
-
Use a large cookie scoop to portion out cookie dough onto the tray. You should get roughly 8 scoops and space them apart on the tray with room to spread.
-
Roll the portioned amounts between your hands into a rough ball and flatten with your hands. The dough may feel slightly drier than regular cookie dough, but the texture of the marzipan as it cooks makes your centres gooey.
-
Place the tray in the centre of the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. Open the oven to let a tiny bit of air out and return to the oven for a further 7-8 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for ten minutes before serving or gently moving to wire racks to cool completely.
