– Cut out cookies with a star shaped cookie cutter, and place them on a baking tray layered with baking paper.
– Beat egg white with powdered sugar until firm; spread on each cookie.
– If you use baking wafers place the wafer on the cookie before baking.
– Bake them for 15 minutes on 175 C or 350 F.
