About Zimtsterne

Zimtsterne, or cinnamon stars, are traditional German cookies popular during the Christmas season. These festive treats are made primarily with ground almonds, powdered sugar, egg whites, and a generous amount of cinnamon, giving them their signature spicy-sweet flavor. Shaped into stars and topped with a delicate white icing, Zimtsterne are naturally gluten-free due to the absence of flour in the recipe. While almonds provide a source of healthy fats, fiber, and some essential vitamins, the high sugar content in these cookies makes them best enjoyed in moderation. Originating in Germany, Zimtsterne are steeped in holiday tradition and are often a favorite on cookie platters during winter celebrations. Their combination of warm spices and chewy texture makes them a beloved seasonal indulgence, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
