Instructions
Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 6 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 7 hours
Makes approx. 90 cookies, edible table decoration
Cream the butter with sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and eggs until fluffy. Mix the flour with the baking powder. Now knead the flour into the mixture with a dough hook. Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour, or preferably overnight. Then roll out the dough between two cut-open, lightly floured 6-liter freezer bags and cut out approximately 90 stars. Brush these with egg yolk. Bake the cutters on each baking sheet at 175°C (top/bottom heat) for 15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool. Pour hot water over the almonds and peel off the skins. If you want to skip this step, use sliced almonds and use them as a flame. I prefer whole almonds. Heat the chocolate glaze according to the package instructions. Place a drop of chocolate about the size of a 10-cent piece in the center of each star and attach a chocolate curl. Let cool. Of course, you can also cover the entire star with chocolate glaze. Form the marzipan mixture into hazelnut-sized balls. Place a whole almond on the chocolate roll to serve as a flame.
