Zimtsterne ohne Mehl

Ingredients

• 250 g powdered sugar
• 250 g ground almond kernels (unpeeled)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3 egg whites (from small eggs)
• sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Stir the stiffly beaten egg whites into the sifted powdered sugar until a shiny creamy mixture forms. Separate 1/3 of the cream, mix the rest with almonds and cinnamon. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll the almond mixture out in portions on sugar, up to 1 cm thick.

2. 2.

   Cut stars (4.5 cm diameter) using a cutter dipped in sugar multiple times. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the stars on it, brush them with the remaining egg white cream. Pull the mixture from the center to the tips with a knife. Let rest until the edges of the stars are dry, then bake for 20 minutes at 150°C.
