PERFECT CINNAMON STARS
Steps:
- Put all dough ingredients into a large bowl.
- Mix the ingredients by hand or mixer until you have a nice dough.
- Shape the dough into a somewhat flat rectangular shape, cover it (i.e. with beeswax cloth in silicone bag or container) and put it into the fridge.
- Let the dough rest for at least 6 hours or overnight, then continue with making the icing.
- Prepare the icing: For a perfect icing, weigh the egg whites and use 5 times this weight for the confectioner's sugar.
- Start by mixing the egg whites.
- When the egg whites are fluffy and shiny, add ⅓ of the confectioner's sugar and mix.
- Repeat until the entire sugar is in the icing.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a board that will fit into your freezer.
- Spread the icing onto the rolled dough, make sure it is even and not too thick.
- Put the remaining icing aside, you will need it later.
- Put the iced dough into the freezer for two hours.
- After two hours, take it out and start cutting the cookies as described next.
- Use a medium size star cookie cutter and dip it into a small bowl of water. Then make sure excess water is absorbed by a kitchen towel (see video if that's unclear).
- Cut a star out of the frozen dough and place it onto the baking sheet by carefully tapping the cutter onto the sheet until the cookie falls off.
- The remaining dough (leftover from the cuttings) can be kneaded and rolled again, then spread the remaining icing on it and repeat as before.
- Let the cookies dry for two hours.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F (a little lower than in the video) and bake for about 8 minutes.
- You know that the cinnamon stars are ready when you can lift them from the baking sheet.
- Don't let the frosting bake to a tan.
- Let the cookies cool, then store them in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and line a large baking tray (or 2 smaller) with baking parchment. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to whisk until foamy. Add the lemon juice and whisk again until they hold soft peaks.
- Slowly mix in the icing sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is stiff. Remove about a quarter of the meringue mixture and set aside to use for the topping. Put the almonds, cinnamon, ginger and lemon zest in the bowl with the meringue and mix to form a stiff, slightly sticky dough.
- To form the stars, put the dough on a piece of baking parchment lightly dusted with icing sugar and dust the top of the dough with sugar, too. Place a second sheet of parchment on top of the dough and roll out to about 0.5cm thick (the dough is a little sticky, so the parchment makes it easier to roll). Peel off the top sheet of parchment and use a 5cm star-shaped cutter to cut out as many cookies as possible. Place them on your prepared baking tray.
- Using the reserved meringue mixture, spread a small amount onto the top of each cookie, covering the entire top - you may need to add a few drops of water to make the meringue a little easier to spread. Put the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 mins until meringue is set but not browned. Allow to cool fully before storing in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
