German Cinnamon Christmas Stars
"Zimsterne, cinnamon stars, German Christmas biscuits are made from sugar, almonds, egg whites and cinnamon of course. Messy, finicky to cut and absolutely adorable. When I first heard of them I was convinced they were another incarnation of gingerbreads, like Lebkuchen or Pfeffernusse. Lovely and Christmassy, but nothing out of ordinary – except cut out in star shapes. Couldn’t be more wrong. They are made of almonds and egg whites, like French macarons. They are incredible in their texture: a little soft, a little chewy, a little melting in the mouth. And they have sparkly white meringue glaze on top!"
