Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

without eggs, makes about 50 pieces

Dissolve the cappuccino powder in 50 ml of hot water. Allow to cool. Combine the flour, almonds, hazelnuts, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the butter over the top, add the cappuccino, and mix everything with the dough hook of a hand mixer. You can either chill the dough slightly or continue working with it straight away. To do this, form the dough into several 2 cm thick rolls. Cut off 1.5 cm pieces and roll them into smooth balls. Place these balls on baking paper and bake at 160°C for about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool and then spread with the dissolved hazelnut glaze. Place the cookies close together, then use a cut-open parchment paper bag and the melted chocolate glaze to draw thin stripes over the cookies. Allow to dry.
