Delicious Cinnamon Stars Recipe | Indian Cookies

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) (e.g., almonds or walnuts)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Add Egg White

    Gently fold in the egg white until just incorporated.

    Make sure to use a clean bowl for the egg white.
  6. Shape and Bake

    Shape the dough into small stars and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

    These cookies taste best after they've cooled completely.
