Coming at you with a traditional German holiday cookie that is simple and easy and makes any dark cold winter day cozy – Cinnamon Streusel Plum Jam Cookies! These just feel right on a snow day along with a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

Christmas time is cookie time and that’s why in the weeks until Christmas I will show you the best German Christmas cookie recipes.<\/p>\n

While many German Christmas cookies like Linzer Cookies<\/a> are cut-out cookies, we don’t need any cookie cutters here! We bake one giant cookie and then just cut it into shapes while still warm.<\/p>\n

And I promise you that these buttery Cinnamon Streusel cookies with plum jam can definitely make your day better.<\/p>\n

German Plum Jam Cookies with Almond Cinnamon Streusel Topping<\/h2>\n

Cookies with butter crumble topping and sweet-tart plum jam – perfect when you crave just something different and these look so cute next to gingerbread cookies<\/a> and rum balls<\/a>! <\/p>\n

Today’s recipe is for all fans of crumble cakes and basically the cookie version of my German Plum Crumble Cake!<\/a> Small butter streusel sprinkled on Christmas biscuits with a shiny layer of plum jam peeking out – just beautiful!<\/p>\n

These cinnamon streusel cookies are always a hit with every guest at any Christmas party.<\/p>\n

Honestly, what could be better than getting comfy with a mug of mulled white wine<\/a> and a wonderful German holiday treat made with shortcrust pastry, a fruity, slightly sour plum jam, and delicious crunchy cinnamon almond crumble on top?<\/p>\n

When making my cookie platters I like to have a great variety of shapes to play with so next to vanilla crescent cookies<\/a>, traditional cut-out cookies like Linzer cookies<\/a> and round cookies like my walnut cookies with marzipan<\/a>, I always like to put some diamond shapes on the cookie plate.<\/p>\n

I think these diamonds are super pretty, but you can also cut the cookies with plum jam into small cubes.<\/p>\n

Ground almonds and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon in the streusel pastry make these taste so cozy and the batter is extra rich as we use egg yolks instead of whole eggs. You can use the whites to make my coconut macaroons.<\/p>\n

It is important to wait 20 minutes after baking before shaping them into the desired shape.<\/p>\n

I like to bake the cookies in an adjustable baking frame but you can also place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Press the base down, spread with plum jam, spread a good portion of almond and cinnamon crumble on top, and then put the baking tray in the oven until the shortcrust pastry and crumble are lightly golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n

Of course, these don\u2019t just taste great at Christmas. The plum jam cookies are a delicious coffee biscuit all year round and I don’t know anyone who would turn these down. As soon as I put them on the coffee table, they’re basically already gone.<\/p>\n
