Instructions

1
Knead the marzipan paste with the icing sugar and the rose water in a bowl to a smooth, supple mixture.
2
Shape the mixture between your palms into balls about 2 cm across and press them slightly out of shape, so that they look like small potatoes.
3
Mix the cocoa powder with the cinnamon and roll the balls in it in batches until they are covered all over. Tap off any excess powder carefully.
4
Set the marzipan potatoes on a plate and chill them so that they firm up.
