1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (do not turn on the fan, it can cause the egg white topping to brown before the cookies are done). Place the rack on the bottom rung of the oven.
2. Beat the egg whites in a medium-sized bowl until soft peaks form (be careful not to over-beat the egg whites or the frosting/glaze won't turn out right). Sift the powdered sugar and stir it into the egg whites until combined. Reserve 2 generous, heaping tablespoons of the egg white mixture for the glaze.
3. Add the nuts, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and salt and beat until the dough comes together in a fairly stiff but pliable mass. If it's too soft to work with add a few more ground nuts and powdered sugar. (If the dough is too sticky, add a little more nut flour.)
4. Press/roll the dough onto a non-stick surface sprinkled with powdered sugar to a thickness of about 1/3 inch. Use a 3-inch star cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and transfer them to a lined or non-stick cookie sheet. Form the scraps of dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut cookies out of the remaining dough.Use a toothpick or small brush to brush on a thin layer of the reserved egg white mixture all the way to the edges of the cookies. (*SEE NOTE)Place the sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake the Zimtsterne for about 30 minutes or until set. Then open the oven door just a crack and let the cookies sit for another 10-15 minutes to further dry out. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies can be stored in a dry, airtight container in a cool place for at least 2 weeks.
