- Mix the butter until soft and smooth and then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Mix everything to a smooth dough.
- Once the dough has formed, stop the machine.
- Allow the dough to rest overnight in the refrigerator.
- Roll the dough until it is 2.25 mm thick and cut with a 9 cm Ø cookie cutter. Cut 8 x 8 cm slices for square cookies.

- Then fold the other slices of dough over the almond paste buttons.
- Lightly press the dough and (for the round version) cut out the biscuits with a fluted cookie cutter.
- Brush the cakes with egg and decorate with half almonds before baking.
