10 dag ground walnuts

DIRECTIONS
Dough
Mix all ingredients and knead a smooth dough. If it is too sticky and difficult to knead, add some flour. Wrap the dough with a transparent foil and leave it for about 1.5 hours in the fridge to cool well.
When the dough is cooled, roll it out on floured surface to a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Cut the dough with star-shaped moulds (if you do not have a star, use some other shape of your choice), and place it in a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 190° C for about 10 minutes. Make sure the dough does not get too browned.
Icing
Make the icing by mixing powdered sugar with a bit of rum. Make sure the mixture is not too thin. Coat the cookies with a prepared paste. If desired, you can sprinkle with decorative beads, candied fruit and similar. It is best to serve cookies with hot drinks.
