You can use cookie cutters .
Once you have cut out the cookies, gently place them on the baking sheet. Then either
brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle with nuts and raisins or brush with egg white and
sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a metal spatula to gently remove
each cookie from the baking sheet to a cooling rack.
