These vegan cinnamon stars are at least as good as the original! Try the recipe from Spoonsparrow.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 225 g powdered sugar made from whole cane sugar
  • 400 g ground almonds (add a little more if needed)
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Knead the almonds with cinnamon, 150g powdered sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 3-4 tbsp water into a sticky dough.

  2. 2.

    The dough should be pliable but not too firm; cover it and refrigerate for about an hour.

  3. 3.

    Line baking trays with parchment paper. Roll the dough to 1 cm thickness, cut out star shapes, and place them side by side on the tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan: 160 °C; gas: level 2‑3) for about 8–10 minutes. The stars should remain slightly soft inside and stay as white as possible. Cool on a wire rack.

  4. 4.

    Whisk the remaining powdered sugar with 1–2 tbsp water to make a thick glaze. Brush the stars evenly with the glaze, let them dry, and enjoy.
