The pork patee recipe I have to search. Here are two typical Swiss cookie recipes from my wife that are really delicious:

Brunsli (=Brownish Ones)

300 g unpeeled, groud almonds

250g sugar

100g dark chocolate

2 teaspoons cinnamon pwder

1 pinch of salt

2 pinches of ground cloves

3 egg whites

1 table spoon of Kirsch

Grind chocolate finely

Mix chocolate, almonds sugar and spices.

Whip the egg whites slighly.

Add egg whites and Kirsch to the mixture

Knead shortly to combine all the ingredients

Roll out dough on a sugared work surface to 1 cm thick

Cut shapes from dhough with a cooky cutter (traditionally heath shaped)

Bake for 8 minutes at 160°C. Be careful not to overbake them. The will firm up as they cool

Leave on baking tray for 3 minutes before letting them cool on a wire rack

Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars)

250 g unpeeled, groud almonds

200g sugar

1 table spoon of cinnamon

1 pinch of salt

3 egg whites

1 tea spoon of lemon juice

some confectioner's sugar

Beat egg whites and sugar until you get that fluffy mass (in German it is called Eischnee =Egg snow)

Reserve one third of the mass to use later for the icing.

Add almonds, cinnamon, lemon juice and salt to the remaining egg snow. Mix well.

This should result in a dough you can roll out on a thin coat of confectioner's sugar. If the dough is too stick or liquid to do this add more almonds.

Roll out to ca 1 cm thick.

With cookie cutter, cut out stars and brush them with the egg white and sugar mixture you put aside earlier

bake for 20 min at 170°C (until the tops are lightly colored)
