Sorry to hear that the recipe did not work out for you - if you did use almond paste that could be one of the reasons. Also there are many variables that play a role like different ovens etc. etc. I use this recipe every year for ChristmasMeeta K.

My cookies spread out flat and are way too sweet tasting.

To tackle the issue about the kipferls getting too dark after 10 minutes: each oven works differently and depending how yours work it is advisable to keep an eye on them after 8-10 minutes.

I have to say first - that they tasted divine!! The combination of the marzipan with the lemon zest, sent me floating. But alas, thats where my luck ended. The temperature conversion to 390F somehow was not right for my cookies and the first batch were close to burnt in 10 mins.
