50 cookies
Experience
- made for Christmas and Sylvester 2021, and it was loved. 2/3 quantities but with 2 tsp cinnamon. Baked for an extra 10 minutes, and it was still soft inside. In another recipe from a Advent’s cookies book of Maman, the dough had some kirsch, I let the cookies dry for 12 hours before baking, then baked at 150°C or so (the recipe said 240°C for 5min). They were more crispy, I liked it a lot too.
Ingredients
- 250 g powdered sugar + more for dusting
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tsp zimt cinnamon, maybe more
- 350 g almond powder with skin
Recipe
- Oven: 125 °C.
- Beat up the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Sift the powdered sugar then fold in the egg whites.
- Put aside 8 tbsp of this mixture for covering the cookies.
- Add the almond powder and cinnamon to the main quantity of egg whites.
- Roll out the dough with powdered sugar instead of flour, 0.5 cm thick.
- Cut out shapes with a star cookie cutter.
- Brush the white topping on each star.
- Bake for 15 minutes (I actually did 25 min, they started browning a tiny bit but barely).
