For the almond cookies, boil the almonds briefly in a pot of hot water, drain and squeeze out the skins.
Roast the almonds in a coated pan without fat and let them cool down. Finely grate the cold almonds. Knead all ingredients well and roll into long sticks about 3-4 cm in diameter.
Leave them to rest overnight in the refrigerator. Cut slices of the sticks about 0.5 cm thick and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approx. 10-15 minutes.
