Using a dough wheel, roll into rectangular cookies measuring approx. 5x8 cm. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200°C/ gas: level 3) for 12-15 minutes. In the meantime roll out the second half of the dough a little thicker, sprinkle with flaked almonds and roll them into the dough. Roll out again into rectangular cookies and bake as described. Leave to cool on a cake rack and store in tins. Results in approx. 55 cookies
