Mix the flour with the baking powder and sift onto a work surface. Make a well in the center, add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Spread the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt over the edge of the flour. Crumble everything into crumbs with a knife, then knead with your hands to form a smooth shortcrust pastry. Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes. Roughly chop the walnuts. Bring to a boil in a small saucepan with the milk, sugar, and cappuccino powder, stirring constantly, then let cool. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Dust the work surface with flour. Knead the dough again and roll out to a thickness of about 2 mm. Cut out cookies using a round cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheet at 1 cm intervals. Spread the nut mixture over the cookies. Chill for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes until golden brown, remove from the baking sheet while still hot and let cool on a wire rack.
