The magic of Christmas is moving in on \"sizzling &amp; frizzling\"! And we're starting into this season with a recipe for sugar-reduced cinnamon star cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinnamon star cookies are traditional German Christmas Cookies. I never really liked store-bought cinnamon star cookies. Even though they were looking so pretty, their taste never won me over. As a big cinnamon-enthusiast, they never had enough spice for me and were just too sweet and too dry. Only when I baked them myself for the first time, I aquired a taste for them. Spoiler alert: these cinnamon star cookies are neither too dry, too bland nor too sweet. The powdered sugar in the cookie dough can easily be replaced by dates, so that you only need some powdered sugar for the glaze. If you want to omit sugar all together, you can use powdered erythritol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe is based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oetker.de\/rezepte\/r\/zimtsterne\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.oetker.de\/rezepte\/r\/zimtsterne\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cinnamon Star Cookie Recipe<\/a> by Dr. Oetker. Aside from the sugar, I also changed up the spices. Of course, cinnamon is still the main player of this spice blend, but I also use some cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and ginger (the classic pumpkin spice blend). This is how these Cinnamon Star Cookies taste spicier and even more like Christmas. I really hope you try this recipe and tell me in the comments, if you also like them so much better than store-bought Cinnamon Star Cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need more inspiration for the Christmas season?
