Cooking

step-0
Regular shortbread dough, but the spices give it a unique taste, although not everybody likes it.
step-1
Margarine chop with spices and almonds.
step-2
Add eggs and flour and knead the dough. When did the first time, I thought, nothing happens, everything falls apart. But after 3-4 minutes of kneading all turned out perfectly. Put the dough in a cool place for an hour.
step-3
Ideally, the pastry should be so, but...
step-4
In the absence of the shapers I just rolled with thickness of 1/2 cm and cut out layers of different figures

I have 3 cookie sheet. While baking one sheet - 5 minutes!, fill the second one... Bake in a preheated 180*C oven for 5-7 minutes.

Happy (not so long and still is) Christmas!
