Recipe by Heino, makes about 100 pieces

Quickly knead the dough ingredients with cool hands into a shortcrust pastry and refrigerate for one hour. Then roll out to a thickness of 3-4 mm and cut out any desired shapes. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with any desired topping. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes until light brown. The cookies can also be glazed after baking and then sprinkled with the topping. A practical recipe that also provides egg whites for macaroons or meringues.
