Bring butter, sugar and syrup to the boil. Take the pot from the stove, let the mixture cool down. Chop the nuts, put them into the pot and stir in. Mix flour and spices and knead into the cooled down syrup mixture. Form a roll (approx. 4 cm Ø, approx. 30 cm long) from the dough, wrap it in aluminium foil and put it in a cool place overnight. Cut half the roll of dough into thin slices and spread them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 8-10 minutes, remove from oven. Put the cookies on a cake rack and let them cool down. Cut the remaining roll into slices, spread on the baking tray and bake in the same way. Chop the chocolate coating and melt on a warm water bath. Dip half of the cooled biscuits into the chocolate coating and place them back on the rack to dry
waiting time approx. 13 1/4 hours
