Deliciously spiced almond flour Keto Christmas cookies - possibly my favourite sugar free Christmas treat! Cinnamon Stars (Zimtsterne) are traditional German Christmas cookies, adapted to suit a low carb, Keto diet.
"Zimtsterne" are perhaps the most traditional Christmas cookies in Germany. They are the Mince Pies of Deutschland; the ultimate festive baked good. Plus, they taste absolutely delicious. The original recipe requires ground almonds (that's almond flour in the US), which makes these German Christmas cookies gluten free. So far, so good.
Bethmaennchen, which translates to "little praying men," are traditional German Christmas cookies made from marzipan. Each one is topped with three almonds to honor the three sons of the Bethmann family. This traditional German spice cookie features cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, anise, cinnamon, and, of course, pepper.
These low carb sugar free Christmas cookies are one of our favorite keto Christmas cookies because they are easy to make, yet surprisingly delicious. They can even be made low carb gluten free if you need to have a gluten free option. Make it a low carb Christmas with this, and more, low carb recipes.
