EASY CINNAMON STARS



Easy Cinnamon Stars image

This sweet and spicy-and ever-so-easy-recipe was inspired by our time-tested Cinnamon Stars, but we've added a shortcut that makes them perfect for last-minute bakers. These crispy cookies are topped with creamy frosting and a sprinkle of crushed cinnamon candy for a super star look that doesn't take all day to achieve. The secret to the shortcut is using time-saving ingredients-Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix and Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting-that'll help you pull together a batch of these beautiful, home-baked cutout cookies even during the busiest time of the year.

CINNAMON STARS: ZIMTSTERNE (GERMANY)



Cinnamon Stars: Zimtsterne (Germany) image

These are a classic German Christmas cookie; you'll find them in most every household as soon as St. Nicholas' Day (December 6) rolls around. These gluten-free cookies are kind of like a cross between a macaroon and a meringue, with a hint of nutty spiciness. We find them truly addictive. They're designed to keep for a long time, they'll get chewier as time passes.

Time 1h

Yield 2 dozen stars

Number Of Ingredients 5

15 ounces sliced almonds, with skin (about 4 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites, room temperature
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for rolling* (please see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Sift the confectioners' sugar.
  • Put 1/2 cup of the sifted confectioners' sugar, 10 ounces (3 heaping cups) of the almonds and all the cinnamon in a food processor. Process until the nuts are finely ground, with just a few larger pieces.
  • Whip the egg whites in a large, clean bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until they hold soft peaks, about 1 minute. Gradually add the remaining confectioners' sugar while whipping, until the whites are thick, creamy and somewhat stiff, about 2 minutes more. Set aside 2/3 cup of this meringue for topping the cookies.
  • Fold the ground almond mixture and the lemon zest into the remaining meringue to make a stiff dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Lay a sheet of parchment or waxed paper on the work surface and lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Turn the dough out onto the dusted paper, flatten and dust with more sugar as needed, and then lay another sheet of parchment or waxed paper on top. Roll the dough between the papers until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Flip the dough over and gently peel off a sheet of the paper. For ease when cutting, lay the paper back on the dough, flip again and gently pull off the other side of the paper so that the dough is fully released from it.
  • Cut cookies with a 3-inch star cutter and place about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. (Excess dough can be rerolled.) Use a small spoon, brush or offset spatula to spread the reserved meringue over the top of each cookie, taking care not to let the meringue drip over the sides. Press or sprinkle remaining sliced almonds in a decorative pattern into the meringue.
  • Bake cookies until bottoms are light golden brown and meringue is set and crisp, about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and open the oven door to release heat and dry cookies out in the oven for 10 more minutes.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ⅔ cups finely ground almonds
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
⅓ cup egg whites
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Stir together the almonds, cinnamon, and lemon zest until combined.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Slowly sift in the confectioner's sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is stiff. Set aside 1/3 cup of the egg white mixture for the glaze. Fold in the almond mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C). Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a surface that has been sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Using a 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter, cut out the cookies and place them on the cookie sheets.
  • To make the glaze, add the lemon juice to the reserved egg white mixture, stirring until smooth. Brush the tops of the cookies lightly with the glaze. (If the glaze starts to thicken, add a few more drops of lemon juice.)
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. When done, they will be light brown and soft in the center. Remove and cool on wire racks.
