Tips from our bakery

Stars are unforgiving: if the dough is too warm, the points tear or lose their shape. Roll shortcrust between two sheets of baking paper, chill it for half an hour and only then cut it out. For cinnamon stars, dip the cutter in cold water or sugar now and then, as the mixture is sticky. Everything for this classic is in our cinnamon star cutters category and in our cinnamon star recipe. Small stars of 4 to 5 cm bake evenly and fit nicely into a biscuit tin; from 10 cm upwards they make a gift or a tree decoration.

Frequently asked questions

Which star is best for Mailänderli?

Mailänderli are Switzerland's classic butter biscuits for Christmas. A five- or six-pointed star of 4 to 6 cm works well; slightly rounded points are less likely to break when you brush the biscuits with egg yolk. Our favourite recipe: Mailänderli.

Five, six or eight points – what is the difference?

The five-pointed star is the classic shape, the six-pointed one looks like a snow crystal, and the eight-pointed one is more delicate but needs well-chilled dough. More festive designs are waiting among all our Christmas cookie cutters.
