Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 55 minutes

Cream the butter with the egg and sugar until fluffy. Add the ground walnuts. Mix the flour with the baking powder and add it gradually. Chill the dough, preferably overnight. Dust the work surface with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3 mm. Cut out the cookies as desired, e.g., using the smallest and medium-sized terrace cookie cutters, and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake the cookies at about 175°C for about 10 minutes. Once the cookies have cooled, stick two cookies together with apricot jam. Mix the powdered sugar with the brandy. Brush the powdered sugar over the double cookies and place half a walnut on top.
