– Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method.
– Mix flour, sugar, butter, oil and eggs. Add the molten chocolate and mix well.
– Cut the marzipan very fine with a sharp knife or grate it, then add to dough. The marzipan should be so fine that it will dissolve. Alternatively mix the marzipan with the eggs and puree it.
– Crumble the amaretto cookies: place them in a freezer bag and crush them. Add to the dough.
– Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
– Layer a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the dough onto it. If you use a cookie or cake form the baking time will be longer and the cookies will be thicker.
– Bake for 20-25 min . Let cool off completely before releasing the brownies from the form.

Tip:
Place the marzipan the day before in the freezer or place it for some hours in the fridge. That’s the best way to grate it so you can use it for the brownies.
