Cinnamon Stars Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup ground almonds
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry flour mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
7. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as needed to cut out more cookies.
8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the icing. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
10. Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a small spoon to drizzle the icing over the tops of the cookies in a decorative pattern.
11. Let the icing set before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
