Stars create a magical December atmosphere, making them perfect for festive coffee Christmas cookies.

Ingredients

To make the dough :

• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon of black coffee (the stronger the better)
• A pinch of lemon zest

For the frosting:

• 1/4 cup of white chocolate
• 1/4 cup of margarine (you can use butter)
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee (Café Bustelo Espresso Instant Coffee or Nescafé)

Method

• Sift flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Add margarine/or butter, egg yolk, coffee, and lemon zest, and make a smooth dough.
• Roll out a sheet about half a centimeter in size, cut stars out of it, and place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
• Place in the oven heated to 400°F and bake for about 10 minutes. Allow the stars to cool after baking.
• While the stars were baking, you prepared the glaze to dip the gingerbread in.
• Split the stars in half. Dip one-half into the white chocolate frosting and let it dry. These stars will serve as tops.
• Spread the other half of the stars with jam or cream and glue them together with the stars that already have a coating.
