salt. Add the egg whites and vanilla and mix until a soft dough forms.

2. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 300 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

4. On a powdered-sugar–dusted surface, roll the dough to 1/3 inch thickness, cut out 3-inch stars, and place them on the prepared sheet.

5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

For the icing:

2. Once cookies are cool, spoon on the icing and spread, or use a squeeze bottle or piping bag. Enjoy right away or let the icing set for 6–8 hours. TF25C367
