1.
Cut the nougat into small pieces. Mix flour, powdered sugar, nuts, cinnamon and cloves; place on a work surface and make a well in the center. Add butter pieces, rum, beaten egg and nougat pieces to the well, crumble everything with a dough scraper and quickly knead by hand into a shortcrust dough. Wrap in foil and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat).

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1 cm thickness, cut out circles (4‑5 cm diameter) and place side by side on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven (middle rack) for about 12‑15 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler and dip half of each cookie. Place on foil and let dry. Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler, transfer to a piping bag with a star tip, and pipe a zig‑zag line onto each cookie.
