Ingredients
- For the dough
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 7 ozs powdered sugar
- 1 Vanilla bean (seeded)
- 1 Tbsp Ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 14 ozs ground Hazelnuts
- Pastry flour (for work surface)
- For the topping
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 6 ozs powdered sugar
Preparation steps
For the dough, place the powdered sugar in a bowl. Beat egg whites with the lemon juice until stiff. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until shiny and stiff. Then stir in vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and 10 1/2 ounces nuts. Mix with hands into a smooth dough that no longer sticks to your hands.
Scatter remaining nuts over lightly floured work surface. Roll out the dough approximately 1/4-inch thick over the nuts. With floured cookie cutters, cut out as desired into star and letter shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper .
For the topping, beat egg whites with lemon juice until stiff. Sprinkle in powdered sugar and stir into a thick icing. Spread over the cut-out cookies and allow to dry overnight.
Preheat the oven to 120°C / 250°F convection (or 275˚F non-convection)
Bake about 15 minutes. Do not overbake, as the icing should remain white.
Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet before serving.
