The Christmas cookies need to be stored in a cold place for a few days.
This allows the aroma and consistency to develop perfectly.
You can use tin cans to store your cookies or fill large mason jars.
It has proven useful to put greaseproof paper in the cans.

What are cinnamon cookies made of?

Story of the cinnamon star Cookies
The exact origin of the Zimtstern bakery cannot be traced back 100%.
The tasty Christmas biscuit was probably invented at the beginning of the 16th century.
The first written mention of the cinnamon stars dates back to 1536.
Cardinal Lorenzo Campeggio had served the delicious biscuits to the German Emperor Charles V during a visit.
The way into German cookbooks took another 200 years.
Before the 18th century, the cinnamon spice was an insider tip and unaffordable for the general public.
As a spice, cinnamon was a treasure, just like pepper, a luxury item for wealthy and wealthy citizens and nobles.
Stars or Thalers?
Unfortunately, clear evidence of where the stars come from or how the star shape came about cannot be traced back historically.
In any case, it is not the Star of Bethlehem, as is often claimed,
Perhaps the star has simply prevailed as a shape suitable for Christmas.

Hello Thomas,
thank you very much for this nice baking recipe.
I always wanted to get the cinnamon stars from heaven.
We baked your cookies just before Christmas and then put them in a cookie jar.
Unfortunately, we did not have the time for more baking events.
The taste and consistency of the cookies has fully convinced us.
Friends have reported to us, the dough would be difficult to cut out.
This has also worked very well. So it actually makes sense to look at the professional.
Thank you for this great and working instructions. Kind regards AVA
