Then knead in the almond mixture. Cover the dough and chill for 1 hour. Sprinkle flour on a work surface. Roll out the dough; as it will be a bit sticky, pull a sock over the rolling pin and/or lightly flour the dough. Cut out cookies with scalloped edges or stars, moons, hearts, etc. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 175°C (top/bottom heat) for about 12 minutes. Mix the powdered sugar with water or rum. Let the cookies cool and then cover with the powdered sugar glaze.
