Christmas Time

They have such a seasonable sweet and nutty taste that I often get “blamed” to make guests want more. Of course, I am talking about Cinnamon Stars, a famous and traditional European Christmas cookie (Zimtsterne).
 

Zimt Sterne

To no surprise, Google comes up with 437000 results.
Most of those recipes have one thing in common and that is the consistency of the dough. But the cookies taste so delicious that it’s well worth dealing with the ultra sticky dough.
The stickiness can be dealt with by cooling the dough in the freezer for an hour before cutting out the stars.
 
Once the cookies are cooled down the stars should end up soft inside with a white hard icing.
Here you find the recipe that I was using.
