Roast the nuts in a dry pan, let them cool, and then grind them. You can also use ground nuts and toast them slightly. Mix the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Cream the butter and sugar together, then knead in the flour, nuts, and cream. Shape the dough into logs and roll them in the cocoa powder. Wrap the logs in foil and chill for about 1 hour. Cut the logs into 5 mm thick slices and bake on a baking sheet at 160 degrees Celsius (convection oven) for about 10 minutes.
