Zimtstern auf Englisch

I've had a few requests for the English version of Zimtstern (cinnamon stars) recipe.

Here it is!  Enjoy!

1000g Ground Almonds
1400g Sugar
500g Egg white
500g Marzipan
40g Cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Glaze:
150g Egg white
900g Powdered sugar

With your hands, combine the ingredients (except the almonds) and work until smoothed.  Once combined, cool.  Sprinkle the ground almonds on the table, so the mass won't stick once rolled.  Roll out the mass 10mm thick.
Lightly whip the egg white and powdered sugar together and spread evenly across the rolled mass.
With a star cookie cutter, cut out small stars from the mass.  Hint: dip the cutter in warm water between cuts.
Place the stars onto a baking tray with baking paper, and bake at 170 C or 340 F.  Ideally you would want the heat on top to be lower than the heat on the bottom.  If possible, set the heat above to 150 C or 300 F and the heat from the bottom to 170 C or 340 F.  Bake for approximately 10 minutes.
