To make the dough, mix the flour, vanilla sugar and eggs
Add the butter in small pieces and mix quickly to obtain a homogeneous mass
Place it in a bowl, cover with a cloth and refrigerate for about 30 minutes
(Cut a oval-shaped cardboard strip about 4-5 cm long.) Open the dough and cut it into this shape
Brush half of the biscuits with egg yolks (these biscuits will cover the others without egg yolk)
Place all the biscuits in a greased baking dish
Decorate some of the brushed biscuits with leftover dough scraps
Bake in a moderate oven (200°C) for 10 minutes
Remove and let cool
While that cools, prepare the fillings
For filling n.3, crush the cashew nuts, mix with sugar and 1 tablespoon of butter
Heat over low heat until it caramelizes
Remove from heat immediately
Crush and mix with the remaining butter and brandy
Spread the fillings on the biscuits without egg yolks
Cover with the brushed biscuits
Decorate with a glaze made with egg white and confectioner's sugar, in sufficient quantity to form a paste
If desired, you can color this paste with food coloring or give it a special flavor with fruit juice
To make decorative designs, pipe the glaze through a pastry bag.
