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

Sugar Free Icing

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.
