I made these as written. Too much cinnamon, it gave the cookie a bitter taste. 11 min in the oven were perfect for a soft cookie. I baked a second time using only 1 tsp cinnamon instead of the amount called for and used 2 tsp vanilla, 3 extra tbsp flour. A nicely sweet mildly chocolate flavor but I'll stick w/other recipes if I want a chocolate cookie.

Ok, when I initially read the recipe I thought, 1/3 cup cinnamon was way to much, however, having made these, I must say, they are delicious and 1/3 cup cinnamon is perfect! After mixing the cinnamon with the flour, begin incorporating into the creamed mixture, the smell is delightful and I know these cookies are going to be great! Ok, I have baked these cookies and they are wonderful, slightly sweet, can barely taste the cinnamon, will make these a Christmas yearly cookie! I dusted them with powered sugar. Note, do not bake over 11 minutes or they are hard, if you bake set exactly 11 minutes, they are soft and yummy!

People have asked if the 1/3 cup cinnamon is correct - it simply can't be. Other variations of zimtsterne call for 1-2 teaspoons. If you follow this recipe as-is, the results are pretty dreadful (no matter how much you might like cinnamon, that's just too much).

First of all traditional Zimtsterne does not have chocolate in it. I should know I was born and raised in Germany. I would try finding a traditional recipe online.

These cookies are excellent! They have such a wonderful flavor. I've made them for Christmas before, and I'll definitely make them again for this Christmas!
