sprinkle with another 1/3 of sugar. repeat with one more circle, then place the final circle on top.
place a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or other round object) in the center of the circle, and then use a bench scraper to cut the circle into 16 equal strips (starting at the circle and out to the end), cutting through all the layers.
take two pieces of dough, and twist them away from each other twice. repeat around the whole circle.
pinch the ends of the pairs of strips firmly together to create the star (you should end up with 8 points).
remove the biscuit cutter. transfer the star on the parchment to baking sheet.
