Vegan Cinnamon Cookies (german „Zimtsterne“)

A few days before Christmas, my grandma is baking tons of cookies: cinnamon cookies, black and white cookies, and coconut macaroons. In the end, we get three big bowls filled with these three types of cookies. My personal favorites are always cinnamon cookies. So here is my grandma's recipe, just 100 % plant-based!
