Sugar Free Christmas Cookies(German Cinnamon Stars)
Report
Deliciously spiced sugar free Christmas cookies! Cinnamon Stars are traditional German Christmas cookies, adapted to suit a low carb, Keto diet. Some readers like to bake these until they are crunchy, but I prefer them when the inside is moist and they taste almost like marzipan.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 Celsius / 300 Fahrenheit.
- Beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Slowly mix in the powdered sweetener until the mixture is stiff.
- Add the almond flour and spices and stir until combined.
- Form a dough ball and roll it out around ½ to 1 centimetre thick between 2 sheets of baking paper.
- Place in the freezer to chill for around 15 minutes. This is an important step - it makes cutting out the dough much easier.
- Remove from the freezer, lift the top baking paper sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place on a baking tray line with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
- Let cool completely, then ice with sugar free icing - ½ cup powdered sweetener mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
Notes
- For a variation replace 100g/1 cup of ground almonds with ground hazelnuts.
- Net carbs: 1.2g per cookie. Cookie weight: 20 grams each.
