Serves:
20 binscuits
Ingredients
1 large egg white, room temperature
80 g powdered sugar
100 g ground almonds
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300° F.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar a little at a time to the beaten egg white. Keep whisking until they are thick and glossy.
Set aside 1 heaped tablespoon of the meringue for use later as icing.
Fold ground almonds, cinnamon, and lemon zest into the remaining meringue. The dough should be very thick. If not, add more ground almonds. Refrigerate to rest.
Sprinkle powdered sugar onto a work surface and also sprinkle the dough with powdered sugar. Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use a star template to stamp out the biscuits.
Put stars onto the prepared baking tray. Ice the cookies with the reserved meringue.
Bake biscuits for 15-20 minutes. Remove cookies to a cooling rack. The cookies will firm as they cool.
