Description

Ingredients

• 300g / 3 cups ground almonds
• 100g / 1 cup Sukrin icing or powdered erythritol
• 3 egg whites
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground coffee

Directions

• Separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Use a glass or ceramic bowl for this and make sure its totally dry and squeaky-clean. A stick blender with plastic does not give a brilliant result - best is an old-fashioned mixer with 2 steel attachments.
• Fold in the sweetener.
• Reserve 3 tablespoons of the egg white and sugar mix for the glaze
• Add the ground almonds and spices and stir until combined.
• Form a dough ball and roll it out around ½ cam thick between 2 sheets of baking paper
• Place in the freezer for around 15 minutes. This is an important step - it makes cutting out the dough much easier
• Remove from the freezer, lift the top baking paper sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes (just rename the recipe if you prefer hearts instead of stars!)
• Brush on the egg white mix we set aside earlier.
• Bake in an pre-heated oven at 120 Celsius for 25 minutes.
