Sugar Free Christmas Cookies(German Cinnamon Stars)

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.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups / 250g almond flour or ground almonds
  • ½ cup / 90g powdered sweetener 
  • 2 egg whites large
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground coffee (optional)
Sugar Free Icing
  • ½ cup / 90g powdered sweetener  plus 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 150 Celsius / 300 Fahrenheit.
  2. Beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Slowly mix in the powdered sweetener until the mixture is stiff.
  3. Add the almond flour and spices and stir until combined.
  4. Form a dough ball and roll it out around ½ to 1 centimetre thick between 2 sheets of baking paper.
  5. Place in the freezer to chill for around 15 minutes. This is an important step - it makes cutting out the dough much easier.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
  8. 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.
