Cookies: Celestial Stars
The perfect cookies: celestial stars recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
dough
- 300 g Sifted flour
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 2 Pck. Vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 250 g Margarine
- 5 drops Bitter almond flavor
Covering:
- 200 g Apricot jam
- 400 g Marzipan raw mass
- 80 g Sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp Amaretto
- 1 tbsp Bitter almond flavor
Molding
- 100 g Sifted powdered sugar
- 1 Protein
- Yellow food coloring
dough
- Knead the dough ingredients together quickly and cover and chill for 1 hour. Roll out in small portions 2 mm thick, cut out small stars and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 160 ° C for about 10 minutes until golden
Topping – Step 1
- Knead the raw marzipan mixture with powdered sugar, liqueur and baking oil. Then roll out the mixture thinly and cut out marzipan stars with the same star shape with which you cut the dough – just as many as dough stars 🙂
Topping – Step 2
- Strain the jam through a sieve and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Brush the cooled cookies with jam and then place 1 star of marzipan on each.
Molding
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, adding the icing sugar in portions with the spoon. Finally add the food coloring. I had about 1 tbsp full of it …
annotation
- I always did the celestial stars together with my mother, then you can do steps 1 + 2 in parallel, alone it is easier to work through the steps separately. These cookies are very time consuming. I bake the cookies one day and do the rest the next day. Since my helper now has problems with grasping, I have to make the treat on my own and therefore plan 1-2 days for it. The effort is worth it 😀
