Zimtsterne (Cinnamon cookies)

Ingredients:

3 fresh white of egg (about 100 grams)
1 pinch of salt
250 grams (9 ounces) confectioner’s sugar
1½ tablespoons of cinnamon
½ tablespoon of kirsch or lemon juice
350 grams (12 ounces) grind almonds

Procedure:

Stir white of egg and salt in a bowl until it is real stiff. Add confectioner’s sugar, stir until ingredients are evenly distributed. Put 1 dl (0.4 cups) aside for the frosting. Add cinnamon, kirsch (or lemon juice) and almonds, knead to a soft dough. Roll out dough on a flat surface (it may be slightly covered with sugar), approximately 7 mm (0.3 inches) thick. Put out stars or other shapes and put them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Let them rest for about 5 to 6 hours or over night in a dry place. Carefully sweep the cookies with the frosting set aside in step 2. Bake for about 3 to 5 minutes in the center of the pre-heated oven at 250 °C (480 °F). Let cool completely before serving.
