Vegane Zimtsterne | vegan cinnamon stars

My apartment turned into a vegan Christmas cookie bakery last weekend. I baked cut-out cookies, cinnamon stars and vanilla crescents. Unfortunately I forgot the time for a couple of minutes and the second batch of my favorites - vanilla crescents - totally burned. Yeah. I was pissed. Anyway, I think it was my first time ever making cinnamon stars/Zimtsterne. And they turned out amazing! Zimtsterne are an Austrian/German classic...Christmas markets, cinnamon stars & mulled wine. Ohh Christmas time wouldn't be the same without them. The cookies are made without any butter/oil and they are gluten free, too.

(If you are not so into baking, I highly recommend this recipe: raw rum truffles.)

Ingredients

For the batter:

• 100 grams hazelnuts, grated
• 100 grams almonds, grated

For the icing:

• 70 grams icing sugar

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a bowl mix together all the ingredients for the batter. First add only a bit of water...maybe you don't even need all of it! If you like mix by hand, but it's gonna be a sticky affair! 2. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 160 degrees C. 3. Roll the dough and cut out stars. 4. Bake for about 7 minutes. Then let cookies cool down. 5. Mix together icing sugar, cinnamon and 1 tsp coconut milk or water until creamy. Add 1 teaspoon more coconut milk/water if needed. Decorate star cookies and voilà!
