1. For the cookies: In a food processor, grind the pistachios until fine. Add 2 3/4 cups of the confectioner's sugar and the cinnamon. Continue pulsing to make a fine powder. Add the egg whites and process until the dough comes together.
2. Preheat the oven 300.F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Sprinkle a work surface with the remaining 1 cup of confectioner's sugar. Kneed the dough on the surface to create a cohesive dough. Roll out the dough until 1/4 inch thick, making sure the surface and rolling pin are coated with confectioner's sugar to keep the dough from sticking. Cut out cookies with a 2-inch star cookie cutter, dipping the cutter into the confectioners' sugar every now and again to keep the dough from sticking. Place the cookies bout 1/2 inch apart on the pans (they won't spread much). Gather the dough scraps, then reroll and cut out more stars.
4. For the meringue: Whisk the eggs white in a metal bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Whisk in the confectioner's sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thick and smooth (it's OK if the meringue doesn't hold a peak). Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or a zip-top bag. Snip off a small portion at the tip of the bag and pipe the meringue on top of the cookies. (Or drop a teaspoon of the meringue onto the middle of each cookie and use the back of a spoon to spread it.)
5. Bake the cookies for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges of the meringue barely start to color. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
