Add the coarsely chopped almonds to the dough using a mixer and knead with your hands until you get a homogeneous ball.Now shape your cookies: with a bit of dough, form rods about 2 inches long, roll them in the remaining sugar, and place them one next to the other on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 480°F for 12-15 minutes.

Storage and Tips

Tips: do not grind the almonds into flour; they should be coarsely chopped. When using the mixer, I recommend using it in pulses rather than continuously.
