Spelt Orange Star Cookies
Soft orange-glazed star cookies are delicate biscuits that hold their shape, smell wonderfully of citrus, and thanks to the flaxseed have a pleasantly soft, tender crumb. Let the dough rest for at least an hour, then roll it out thin, cut out star shapes, and bake briefly until golden. Finally, decorate with orange icing and half an almond—and you’ll have elegant cookies perfect with coffee or for a festive table.
