Christmas baking

Knead the butter, powdered sugar, flour, baking powder, orange zest, and egg into a smooth dough and chill for about 1 hour. Then roll out the dough on a floured surface, cut out stars about 3-4 mm thick, top each with a chocolate cookie or almond, and wrap a star-shaped arm around it (chocolate won’t melt – don’t worry!). Bake in a hot oven at 160°C (top/bottom heat) for about 10-12 minutes. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate and dot it onto the stars for the eyes.
