Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually sift in the icing sugar. Continue beating for at least 7 minutes, until the mixture is glossy. Cover and set aside 3 tablespoons for the cookie glaze. Carefully fold the cinnamon powder, lemon juice (or kirsch), and almonds into the beaten egg whites. Shape the mixture into a ball, cover, and chill for 1 hour. Roll out the dough on sugar (or between foil) to a thickness of about 1/2 cm. Cut out stars and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush each star with the egg white glaze. This works best with a fine brush. Pull out the tips with a knitting needle. Leave the cinnamon star to dry at room temperature, if possible overnight. The glaze should remain light during baking. Preheat: to 225 degrees Celsius Place in: middle rack Bake: 4-5 minutes In my opinion, these are the most delicious cinnamon stars there are.
