This was a bit of an odd recipe for me but the crumbly dough did come together after about 3 minutes of kneading. I was kneading for 5 minutes and rolled and cut my first stars. When I went to knead the scraps back for a second set of stars the dough began to break like. It somehow got juicy or greasy. I could not get more than a few more stars from it before I attempted to "fix" it with more sugar and more flour but to no avail. The cookies that I did get (about 20) were delicious and a unique taste of Christmas I only got to try because a Swiss friend recommended I make them! I did double the glaze recipe as my mixer does better with more volume. It was easier to hold a full zip lock in my palm as well for icing control. If I do it again I will stop kneading right when it comes together! Thank you Patrick, this recipe was a joy!

I never baked cookies with the icing on them! But hey, they look great!
Ohhh never tried these cinnamon types of cookies before! Thanks for showing us how to make it!
