Knead the soft fat, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla sugar, spices, flour and chopped almonds first with the dough hook, then with your hands to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough and chill for at least an hour.
Roll out the dough in portions between cling film to a thickness of approx. 2 - 3 mm. Cut out round cookies (approx. 3 cm in diameter) with a wavy edge and place on baking sheets lined with baking paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175 ° C top / bottom heat (convection: 150 ° C, gas: level 2) for five to ten minutes until light yellow. Let cool down.
Melt the coarsely chopped couverture in a hot water bath. Stir in the almond slivers. Put a teaspoon of chocolate almonds on each cookie and let it set.
