Um, how do you mean, cooked? Do you mean it is cooked afterwards, or
that cooking is somehow integral to the process of making marzipan?

Yes, it's often cooked in the form of cakes and such, but often eaten
uncooked, as well. I've never seen a period recipe that required it
except as an additional step, i.e. yes, you do bake pie crust dough, but
you don't need to bake it to make it.
