Separate the eggs. Knead the flour, salt, butter, egg yolks, and cream into a smooth dough and refrigerate overnight. Divide the dough into quarters and knead lightly. Roll out the dough to about 2mm thick, cut out stars, and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the sugar. Mix the hazelnuts, cocoa, and spices and carefully fold in. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a perforated nozzle and pipe a dot onto the stars. Bake the cookies at 180°C for about 18 minutes.
