For the almond cookies, pour flour into a bowl, make a well in the center and crumble the yeast into it. Mix with 1 tsp sugar and a little lukewarm milk.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 5-10 minutes. Add the rest of the sugar and milk, the egg, the soft butter and a pinch of salt and knead. Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. For the almond paste, briefly boil the whipping cream, butter, honey and sugar and mix in the almonds. Roll out the dough thinly, coat with the cooled almond mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Immediately after removing, cut into diamond-shaped pieces and let the almond cookies cool on a rack.
