  1.  Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)

  2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. It should be a wet dough (see consistency in video).  O  These cookies taste the best when you use freshly ground almonds. If the dough is too dry add more egg yolk and if it is too wet add more almond flour.
