Cook time12 min

Beat egg whites and powdered sugar until stiff.
Set aside about 1/3 of the meringue for the icing, then fold the remaining ingredients (except 3.5 oz of hazelnut powder) into the egg white mixture using a spatula.
Knead until the mixture forms a ball of dough.
Sprinkle the remaining 3.5 oz of hazelnut powder on the work surface, then roll out the dough on top of it to a thickness of about 8–10 mm. Cut out stars with the cookie cutter.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush them generously with the reserved meringue.
Bake at 300°F/150°C for about 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, finish baking for 4 minutes with the oven door open.
And that's it! Your cinnamon stars are ready.

FAQ ❓

How long can I keep these cinnamon cookies?

In an airtight container, they keep very well for 15 days.

Can I add other spices if I don't like cinnamon?

Of course, you can add vanilla powder, for example, if you don't like the taste of cinnamon.

Can I freeze these cookies?

To freeze, wait for the cookies to cool completely. Then place them in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. They will keep for 2 to 3 months in the freezer.
To defrost, remove from the freezer and thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or reheat briefly in a low-temperature oven.
