Chop cooking chocolate. Dice the nougat. Heat whipped cream, let cooking chocolate and nougat melt in it. Must not make. Fill whipped cream- chocolate- nougat quantity into a Weitling and put three hours cooled down.
Finely grind walnuts. Knead together sugar, egg, flour, vanilla sugar, salt, 3/4 of the ground nuts, baking powder, half of the apricot jam and fat. Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on floured surface until thin (about 3mm thick). Cut out double number of stars of approx. 3.5 cm ø. Place stars on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake in a heated oven at 175 degrees for about 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Beat chocolate mixture until creamy. Add remaining ground walnuts. Using a piping bag, pipe onto half of the cookies. Brush remaining cookies with apricot jam and place – jam facing up – on top of piped chocolate mixture. Decorate with walnuts and powdered sugar.
Tip: Do you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Depending on the case, use what you like better.
