Steps
Sequence Step
1Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (do not turn on the fan, it can cause the egg white topping to brown before the cookies are done). Place the rack on the bottom rung of the oven.
2Beat the egg whites in a medium-sized bowl until stiff peaks form. Stir in the powdered sugar until combined. Reserve 2 generous, heaping tablespoons of the egg white mixture for the glaze.
3Add the nuts, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and salt and beat until the dough comes together in a fairly stiff but pliable mass. If it''s too soft to work with add a few more ground nuts and powdered sugar.
4Press/roll the dough onto a non-stick surface sprinkled with powdered sugar to a width of about ⅓ inch. Use a 3-inch star cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and transfer them to a lined or non-stick cookie sheet. Form the scraps of dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut cookies out of the remaining dough.
5Use a pastry brush to brush on the reserved egg white mixture in a thin layer reserving enough for all of the cookies and extending the glaze out to the edges of the cookies.
6Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely.
7The cookies can be stored in a dry, airtight container in a cool place for at least 2 weeks.
