With their clean star shape and shiny white icing, cinnamon stars are among the most iconic German Christmas cookies. This coloring page shows several of them side by side and is ready to print for free.
Why the star shape is so popular
The clean, symmetrical star shape makes cinnamon stars a rewarding design to color — the points can each be shaded individually, and the white icing offers a lovely contrast to the warm brown of the dough. With several stars shown here, each one can get its own small variation.
