(Cinnamon Stars) Zimtsterne
2 c. blanched almonds (grated finely)
4 egg whites
5-1/2 c. powdered sugar
Grated lemon rind
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 T. ground cinnamon
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add lemon rind and juice and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer until very stiff. This will take awhile (about 20-30 minutes). Take out 1 cup and set aside. Add nuts and cinnamon to the remaining egg mixture and chill 2-3 hours. Roll out very thinly (using powdered sugar on rolling surface and rolling pin)and cut into star shapes. Place on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper and let sit overnight. When ready to bake set oven for 250 degrees and brush cookies with reserve egg white mixture. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove cookies on paper and set on dampened dish cloth for about one minute. Remove stars carefully. Makes about 4-5 dozen.
