Indulge in the sweet and spicy flavor of homemade Cinnamon Stars, a traditional German cookie also known as ‘Zimtsterne’. Made with almond flour, cinnamon, and powdered sugar, these star-shaped treats are perfect for the holiday season or any time of year.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch of salt

Preparation:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the dry ingredients, along with the almond extract, until a sticky dough forms.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re slightly golden around the edges.
