Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a bowl or mix by hand on a work surface and quickly work into a shortcrust pastry. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. On a floured work surface or between two baking mats, roll out the dough to a thickness of 4 mm. Sweep off excess flour with a flour whisk or brush before cutting. Cut out hearts or other shapes. Brush with beaten egg, place half a white almond on each and press down well. Place on a prepared baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 165 to 175 °C for 10 to 12 minutes under supervision. After cooling, dip the pastry halfway in chocolate icing. Variation: Boil up apricot or orange marmalade. Spread half of the cookies with it and assemble with the rest. Dip cookies up to the center in melted chocolate.
