Almond cookies

Sift the flour, mix with the baking powder, and knead into a dough with the fat, sugar, almonds, eggs, milk, and spices. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 cm thick and cut out any desired shapes. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool and dust with powdered sugar. This is the original recipe. I personally always use half of the recipe, and since the dough isn’t sticky at all, I cut out mini stars and then place them on the cookie plate as “fillers.”
