Liven up your Christmas board with lemon stars that are pretty to look at and taste great.

Ingredients

Dough:

• 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of butter
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1 egg

Decoration:

• 1 egg for brushing
• ground walnuts and granulated sugar for sprinkling

Method

• Sift plain flour with icing sugar, freshly grated lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter into a bowl. Cut the mixture into pieces.
• Make a smooth dough, wrap it in cling film, and let it rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Then, roll out the dough on a floured rolling pin into a thin sheet.
• Cut out stars from the dough (you can, of course, choose another shape), transfer them to a tray lined with baking paper, and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F.
• Bake for about 9 minutes. While still hot, roll the lemon candy in a mixture of powdered sugar and vanilla and let it cool.
• Store the finished stars in a candy box and let them rest for 1-2 weeks. This will soften the candy. In addition, the lemon will spread beautifully inside, intensifying the flavor of the candy.
