Ingredients:

Beat egg white very firm and slowly add powdered sugar; put 1/4 aside for the glaze.
Mix ground almond, cinnamon and lemon peel with the egg white; you should get a dough that you can roll out.
Dust some powdered sugar on a baking board, roll the dough and with a star cookie cutter cut out stars. Place the stars on a rectangle wafer and cut around the edges with a sharp knife.
Put the stars on a baking tray laid out with parchment paper or a buttered surface.
Preheat oven to 140-160 degrees C (320 F)
Take remaining egg white and add some rum flavor (or if you like real brown rum) until you get a glaze which you spread on top of the stars but not too thick, just a thin layer.
Bake the stars for 30-40 minutes.
