Use batting tool and later knitting tool in the mixer.
When finished form a big clump, cover with cling film and put into fridge for 2 hours.
Make rolls
When dough is cold, depending on cookies form, take out and form into rolls and put back for 1 hour into fridge then cut rolls into discs. Or roll out into sheet and then cut into shapes.
Geek mode: When doing rolls, you get about 12 rolls of 180g which will be around 20cm long and 3cm diameter. You can cut them into 4mm thick disks. Each roll will usually be enough to fill one baking tray.

Heat oven to 200°C with top and bottom heating.
Hint: use baking paper on the tray.
Put shapes on tray and decorate with glaze (use a brush). You can put on almond pieces or raisins. Or chocolate at a later time (see below).
Bake in middle rail for 2x5min (after 5min turn the tray 180° to bake everything evenly)

You can put chocolate on the cookies in a second step: Cut chocolate (suggestion: Lindt Swiss Thins. Cut into 4). Put on cold cookies, then put into 45°C warm oven for 3-10 minutes until nicely molten. Let them cool down for several hours until the chocolate is hard.
