Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
