Knead the butter with the powdered sugar until smooth and then fold in the egg yolk. Sift the flour and baking powder onto a work surface, add the almonds and butter mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 1 hour. Then roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut out cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C on the middle rack for about 5 minutes. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Warm the nougat and place a little of it on half of the cookies using a teaspoon. Place the remaining cookies on top, press down lightly and let the filling set. Warm the chocolate coating. Dip the cookies diagonally into the dough, let them drip off a little and let the icing set on the wire rack.
