Cinnamon Stars
Cinnamon stars are gluten-free by nature. Making them vegan is also no magic. Instead of an egg white icing, a simple sugar icing is applied after baking. You can use cornstarch to bind the dough.
Equipment
- star-shaped cookie cutters
Ingredients
- 400 g ground almonds
- 200 g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 50 ml water
Glaze
- 75 g icing sugar
- 4.5 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients and knead into a dough.
- Chill for a short time.
- Roll out the dough on sugar (approx. 1 cm), cut out with a cookie cutter, place on a baking tray and leave to dry for an hour.
- Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes at
180 °C convection oven. - Mix the ingredients for the glaze together and brush on the already baked and cooled cinnamon stars.
Notes
Do not bake the cinnamon stars on a silicone mat as this will retain the moisture.
