apologies for the delay. I had to balance playing with getting the first round of Christmas baking done (for my son's school). Proof:
 These are made without flour, instead using milled ground almond stuck together with egg whites and sugar, and a load of cinnamon. I overcooked the first batch playing the turn after finally getting them into the oven. Still good, but the tops were toasted. This is the second and third.
Milled Almond? those poor kids.

The recipe said 80g sugar and 50g flour, that turned out way too much. Spread out thick, about 5mm or a little less (recipe says 1cm but that seems way too much). You need a star shaped cutter of course, and you should also pass it through the flour/sugar mix regularly. It's still rather painful to cut the dough as it's so sticky. You have to remove each bisquit form the cutter by hand, if it remains on the table that probably means it's stuck to it. Apply frosting with a brush, then cook for about 12 minutes at 150°C, and remove when the frosting is just starting to get a little light brown (or play your turn and cook them more. Turned out pretty good in fact, the bisquits got crispy which was unusual but nice. The frosting was less fashionable though). All in all pretty easy to make, but between the sticky dough and the sticky frosting quite labourious. Took me like 2hrs+
