- Mix half of the icing sugar with the ground almonds in a bowl. In another bow beat the rest of the icing sugar with butter and the egg until light and fluffy.
- Mix the content of both bowls. Add flour, salt and vanilla sugar and mix well. Add 2 tablespoons water so the mix holds together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 150 C / Gas 2. Grease a baking tray.
- Roll out the mixture on a floured word surface. Using biscuit cutters, cut out shapes of your choice. Brush the biscuits with egg yolk and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly coloured, about 15 minutes.
