  • Knead everything quickly to get a uniform consistency.

  • After 30 minutes spread the dough on a floured board and roll it out to a thickness of about 3-4 mm.
  • Cut out the Christmas cookies from the dough with a cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. With a brush gently spread the egg white over the tops of cookies.
