Yes, it is alot of work, but the results are impressive. It took me 2 batches of broken stars to take heed of a previous reviewers suggestion of using parchment paper. After that change, making the cookies was a breeze. A few of my stars were renegades and became slightly mis-shapen. To correct that, I made a pointsetta looking cookie by placing the top cookie slightly askewed from the bottom one and dusted with powdered sugar.

Fabulous little delights. Even people who never heard of cardamon, loved the taste of these morsels. They definitely have a great shelf life as well. I had one tray of baked pebber nodder sitting out uncovered for 2 days, and they tasted as fresh as if they just came out of the oven. Great cookie.

Fabulous taste. I used mini chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. To make the recipe a little more healthiere I used 1/2 cup applesauce to replace one of the sticks of margarine. Also added 2 teaspoons of ground flax seed, which doesn't effect the flavor on way or the other. This will now be my favorite banana muffin recipe. Can't wait to pass it on to others.
