Jul 22, 2018Cookies Recipes

The recipe for these almond and cinnamon Christmas cookies comes from the bakery Rischart in Munich.

Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites
  • 2½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. kirsch (cherry brandy)
  • 2½ cups blanched whole almonds
  • 1 cup sugar, plus more for rolling cookies
  • ¼ cup rum

Instructions:

  1. Whisk egg whites in a bowl to stiff peaks. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar to make glaze; pour off 2⁄3 cup and reserve. Add cinnamon and kirsch to remaining glaze; set aside. Finely grind almonds in a food processor; add granulated sugar and finely grind. Transfer to bowl with spiced glaze; mix into dough.
  2. Transfer dough to a surface sprinkled heavily with sugar; cover with parchment paper. Roll dough until 1⁄4″ thick. Uncover and spread reserved glaze over dough; let sit until glaze sets, about 30 minutes.
  3. Place rum in a bowl, and using a 1 3⁄4″ star cutter, dip cutter in rum and cut out a cookie; repeat and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spaced 2″ apart. Let dry for 3 hours. Heat oven to 450°. Bake cookies until glaze just sets but does not brown, 3–4 minutes.
