Hi Rose,
Oh yes, I’m sorry. Being German, sometimes I make mistakes in the English language. I meant to say xylitol. But it’s definitely not necessary for the recipe to work.
My apologies and lots of love,
Lynn

What is powdered xytil and where can you get it? Do you mean xylitol? I’ve never used that, please share what it is and where to find. I wanted to make these this week for a party at the end of the week but if you have to order I guess I’ll just skip it. Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
yes, you can buy ground almonds! It does not take long to grind them. Maybe a few seconds 🙂

These are amazing! There were thumb fights in the shop for the last star. And we made them for a Harry Potter themed Christmas party as owls and Hogwarts Crest cookies, adding a drop of orange to the icing on top. They hold their shape beautifully and hold any outline that is stamped into them. Amazing recipe! Thank you!

Hello,
I just made a batch of these and they are in the oven. I also had the problem of having really crumbly dough so i just added a splash of almond milk for extra moisture and they were really sticky in the end. Dough tasted great 🙂

Hi there, do you know roughly how long you can leave these stored for? Planning on making them for Christmas goody gift bags, but don’t want to be whipping them up the day before!

In reply to Anna.

Hi Anna,
absolutely, I think that will work just fine.
No, I did not chill the dough at all, but I believe it could help if the dough was too wet to be rolled out.
Let me know how it worked out!

Do you think I could use molasses instead of maple syrup? Also, did you chill the dough at all?

I’m very sorry you feel this way. I’ve had lots of great feedback for this recipe so it would really help if you could tell me what went wrong. Maybe I can help.
Best,
Lynn
