Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Step 2
Butter one or two large cookie sheets.
- Step 3
Beat egg whites and as they begin to foam and stiffen, gradually beat in sugar. Continue beating until whites form stiff peaks that retain the mark of a knife blade. Set aside half a cup of the whites.
- Step 4
Sprinkle remaining whites with cinnamon, one and a half cups of almonds and vanilla extract or brandy.
- Step 5
Stir together gently but thoroughly. Mixture should be thick and fairly solid. Add more almonds if dough is too sticky to be rolled.
- Step 6
Sprinkle pastry board with sugar and roll out dough to onefourth inch thickness. Cut into star shapes with a small cookie cutter.
- Step 7
Arrange on buttered baking sheet and brush top of each cookie with a little of the reserved egg whites. Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
