Sprinkle the remaining almonds on a work surface and roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 cm. Dampen a star-shaped cutter with cold water repeatedly and cut stars. Place them on two parchment-lined baking trays and bake at 130 °C (fan) for 25–30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the tray, let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
