- Roast the walnuts and crush them into fine pieces.
- Cut the butter into 1 cm cubes and cool.

- (Please refer to the note in the Helpful Hints.)
- Mix together the powdered ingredients and sift.
- Put into a large bowl.
- Put in the chilled butter from Step 3.
- Blend in the butter by using your hands to rub it in.
- (Do this until the mixture roughly forms little balls)
- Add the yeast mixture from Step 2 into Step 4.

- to mix by cutting it in, and gather it together.
- Add the walnuts and chocolate chips to Step 5 and stir them in.
- If the flour doesn't seem to be blending in, adjust with milk.
- The finished dough should be slightly floury and firm.
- As it's resting, it will become even firmer.
- Cover the ball of dough with plastic wrap, shape into a square, and put in the refrigerator.
- Remove the dough that has been resting from half a day to 3 days, cut into small shapes, and glaze it with milk (unlisted).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes in a preheated 200C oven.
- If all the work is too troublesome, you could also do it in a food processor.
- Just be careful not to blend it together too much...
- After mixing the powdered ingredients and the sugar, put in the butter.
- After the butter's been cut in and the texture of the combined ingredients becomes rough and pebbly, add the egg and yeast mixture and process until it mixes in.
- Then add the chocolate and walnuts.
- You can also make these with soy flour.
- Or with black sesame seeds.
- I added raisins and citrus peel to the plain dough.
