  2. Roll the dough into sausage-shaped pieces, about the thickness of a finger, and of equal length. Place them side by side on a sheet of parchment paper. Brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped almonds and pearl sugar. Cut them into 4-5 cm pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. ≈ 3 min
