Divide the mixture in half and roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut into round biscuit shapes, lay out on the baking tray and bake in the oven at 180° for around 10 minutes.
Take them out the oven and let them cool on a rack.
Mix the mascarpone cheese with the sugar and the vanilla seeds until smooth. Decant into an icing gun and cool in fridge.Pipe a rosette in the centre of each biscuit and then garnish with a raspberry before serving.
