It's time to get back on the festive baking traditions, and this recipe is an amazing one to make for friends. It's a nice easy dough you can get the kids involved in decorating. Peggy recommends getting a specialist cinnamon star cutter which opens up to release the cookie. You can find them online or opt for a regular cutter.

01 To make the dough, place the egg whites into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk to a soft peak consistency. While whisking on a medium speed, gradually add the icing sugar and keep going until it looks stiff and glossy.

02 Mix together the ground almonds, ground hazelnuts, cinnamon, salt and orange zest in a bowl. Add this mixture into the meringue and combine everything on a low speed using a paddle attachment.
