The Christmas spirit is becoming stronger, as the European weather shows us more and more that the festive season is already here. The great preparations for the holiday are just about to begin and I decided to show you an easy and kind of healthy recipe for cinnamon Christmas cookies. For me the aroma of cinnamon, honey and pastry are just a little touch towards the festive mood and a perfect way to bring love to your home and family.

I found this recipe a few years ago and since then I have been preparing these Christmas cookies every year. It is super easy, delicious and is a bit healthier than any other recipe, as it does not contain any milk and could be prepared with organic flour, brown sugar and olive oil.

So here are all the products you would need for the cinnamon Christmas cookies.

2 eggs

1 tea cup oil (could be even olive oil or organic oil)

1 tea cup powdered sugar (could be brown sugar)

1 coffee cup honey

600 grams of flour (could be organic white wheat flour)

1 tea spoon baking soda

1 tea spoon cinnamon (or more if you prefer)

So first you start with putting the two eggs in a bowl and mixing them with the 1 tea cup of oil and 1 tea cup of powdered sugar. Once you have achieved a homogeneous consistency, add the 1 coffee cup honey.

In another bowl add the 600 grams of flour, 1 tea spoon baking soda and the cinnamon (1 tea spoon or more). After that, start adding this mix little by little to the mixture from the other bowl. Once you get a homogeneous and a bit sticky dough, put it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

The next step is to carefully roll the dough on a floured surface until it is approximately 1cm thick and then start cutting it with gingerbread cutters or other Christmas shaped cutters.

The final step is to bake the cookies in a pre-heated oven to 180° for 10-12 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. When the cookies are ready, let them cool completely and then if you wish, you could decorate them or leave them as they are.
