Featuring a soft, cake-like texture, these gluten- and dairy-free treats combine cinnamon, almonds, and hazelnuts, topped with white sugar icing. Handmade with care, they bring authentic festive flavor and artisanal quality to your seasonal celebrations. ## Description Charles Fortwenger was the first to create Pain d'epices, or French honey spice cake in 1768 in his workshop in Alasce. As Alsace was on the border between France and Germany, the influences from both cuisines came together to create this gingerbread cookie. Even after two centuries later, Fortwenger continues to adhere to its founder’s original recipe. The dough is a simple mixture of flour, honey and sugar that sits at room temperature for 4-6 weeks before adding the 7 secret spices. Every stage of production is done by hand with respect to tradition. ## Features - Fortwenger gingerbread star cookies with a cake-like softness, made with a blend of cinnamon, almonds and hazelnuts and topped with white sugar icing - Cinnamon star cookies are classic German cookies also known as Zimtsterne - They are very popular in Alsatian cuisines, which incorporates both German and French traditions, to enjoy during Christmas - Made with ground nuts, these holiday cookies are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free ## Images ![Fortwenger Cinnamon Star Cookies (Zimtsterne), 7oz Bag - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610MAjvepKL.jpg) ![Fortwenger Cinnamon Star Cookies (Zimtsterne), 7oz Bag - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kg4TGXymL.jpg) ![Fortwenger Cinnamon Star Cookies (Zimtsterne), 7oz Bag - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51q-LkupQML.jpg) ![Fortwenger Cinnamon Star Cookies (Zimtsterne), 7oz Bag - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JCuEzNIzL.jpg) ![Fortwenger Cinnamon Star Cookies (Zimtsterne), 7oz Bag - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715e8Qg74-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Too chewy for me. *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019* Too chewy for me.
