Cinnamon Stars

Guaranteed to taste yummy

Ingredients

• 250 g ground almonds
• 150 g powdered sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp almond liqueur, e.g. Amaretto

For the glaze: - ½ egg white - 60 g powdered sugar

Instructions

Mix almonds, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl, then add egg white and almond liqueur. Kneed the dough thoroughly in a stand mixer with a dough hook, then put it on a silicone mat and spread it with a rolling pin until it’s about 5 mm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out stars. The cookies will rise a bit in the oven, so ensure the dough is not too thick.

For the glaze, Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and then slowly sift in the powdered sugar. Use a piping bag to cover the cookies with the glaze while already on the parchment paper covered cookie tray. Bake for about 10 minutes at 300°F (150°C).

Tip: Dunk the cookie cutters in powdered sugar after every cookie to avoid the dough sticking to the cutters.
