Cinnamon Stars with Nuts
How about some classic cinnamon Stars this Christmas? I use cinnamon the whole year, but at Christmas, it is nevertheless again something special. In combination with nuts and rum flavor, it’s even better.-Nicole
You need
- 300 g Butter
- 125 g Powdered Sugar
- 1 Eggwhite
- 175 g Ground Hazelnuts
- ½ Pck. Vanilla Sugar
- 1 TSP Cinnamon
- 1 fl. Rum Flavoring
Here’s how to do it
- First, sift the powdered sugar.
- Then put the egg whites in a bowl and beat until foamy. Stir in the powdered sugar a little at a time.
- Now add the hazelnuts, the vanilla sugar, the cinnamon and the rum flavoring and knead everything into a smooth dough.
- Since the dough is very sticky, roll it out between 2 layers of aluminum foil. It should still be about 5-8 mm thick. Now you can cut out stars and put them on a baking tray covered with baking paper. You can knead and roll out the rest of the dough again and again until all is used up.
- Once you have cut out all the stars, bake them in a preheated oven at 150 °C for about 15 minutes. It is best to bake only 1 tray at a time.
- Let the cookies cool on a baking rack afterwards.
