Method
Beat 4 egg whites to stiff peaks (reserve 1 egg white for decoration). Whisk butter until fluffy.
Grind almonds and chocolate together (do not grind chocolate alone — it sticks).
Knead all ingredients into a dough and leave to rest.
Cut out shapes and bake on the middle rack at 180°C.
Decorate with the reserved egg white.
