Directions

1. 1

   Separate the egg and chill the egg white. Mix 225 g flour, 100 g sugar, 1 pinch of salt and 2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter in pieces, egg yolk and possibly 1 tbsp. cold water. Knead first with the dough hooks of the mixer, then quickly with your hands to a smooth dough.

2. 2

   Cover and chill for about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Mix 60 g sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line two baking trays with baking paper. Roll out the dough in portions on a floured work surface to a thickness of 2-3 mm.

4. 4

   Use a cookie cutter to cut out approx. 80 hearts (approx. 6 cm Ø each), knead the dough again and again, roll out again and cut out. Spread half the hearts on the trays.

5. 5

   Spread the hearts on the trays with egg white and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Bake in a hot oven for 8-10 minutes one after the other. Take out, let cool for about 5 minutes. Then remove from the baking tray together with the baking paper and let it cool down.

6. 6

   Spread the remaining hearts in the same way, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake.
