Directions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, almonds, sugar, vanillin sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add egg and butter in pieces. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth short pastry. Wrap the dough in foil and chill for about 15 minutes. Knead the dough again briefly and roll out thinly on a lightly floured work surface for approx. 3 mm. Cut out wings and little angels as you like and spread them on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Knead the rest of the dough again, roll out and cut out more figures until the dough is used up. Mix egg yolk and condensed milk and spread the cookies with it. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 8 minutes until golden brown. Let the cookies cool down on a cake rack. To decorate, mix icing sugar, lemon juice and approx. 2 tablespoons of warm water to form a thick, sprinkly glaze. Remove 2-3 tablespoons and set aside. Stir the rest of the icing with 1-2 teaspoons of warm water a little thinner and remove half of it. Also divide the thick icing and colour one half pink with a few drops of red food colouring. Put the thicker pink and white icing in a piping bag. Spray the angel and wings with the thinner cast or with the thicker outline. Decorate immediately with pink sugar beads (possibly also silver beads). Paint angel faces with either white or pink icing and possibly red sugar writing.
