Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat (160°C fan-assisted). Line a baking tray with baking paper. First, crumble the marzipan mixture into a mixing bowl with your fingers and mix with the remaining dough ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Using 2 tablespoons, place 12 heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Carefully place on a wire rack and allow to cool. To make the glaze, heat the milk and marzipan mixture in a small saucepan, stir until smooth, and stir in the icing sugar. Brush the warm glaze onto the flat side of the cooled American cookies and decorate with chocolate sprinkles. Alternatively: For a simple glaze, mix approx. 150g of icing sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice in a cup until smooth and brush the American cookies with it.
