TRADITIONAL SPRINGERLE
We have made these very traditional German cookies every year since I was a child. My mother remembers her grandmother making them with this recipe that has been in our family for generations. The molds can be hard to find, but check specialty cookware stores and antique shops.

Steps:
- Lightly grease 4 cookie sheets. Sprinkle with anise seeds. Set aside until needed.
- Mix the flour and baking powder together in a bowl until well blended. Place the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat until light and frothy, 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly stir in the flour mixture until a thick dough forms.
- Working with handfuls of dough, roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Lightly sift confectioners' sugar over the dough. Place springerle molds onto the dough; press down hard and evenly until the mold's design registers in the dough. Remove the mold. Use a small knife to cut around each cookie, and place on prepared cookie sheets. Repeat, until all dough has been used. Cover the cookies with a lightweight cotton cloth, and allow to dry 8 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Bake cookies in preheated oven until tops are pale brown and set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Dissolve baking powder in milk in a small bowl. Whisk eggs with a mixer on high speed until very thick and pale, about 10 minutes. With machine running, slowly add sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in milk mixture, salt, anise extract, and lemon zest until just combined.
- Reduce speed to medium-low. Add 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Remove bowl from mixer, and stir in remaining 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until flour is incorporated and dough is stiff.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface, and knead until dough is smooth and not sticky, adding more flour if necessary. Divide dough into 4 pieces, and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Dust surface and springerle mold with confectioners' sugar. Roll out 1 disk of dough at a time to a 1/4- to 3/8-inch thickness (deeper molds will need thicker dough). Cut a piece of dough about the size of the mold. Press mold firmly into dough, flip over, and gently roll over dough with rolling pin. Flip over, and press onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a knife, trim excess dough from sides of mold. Gently coax dough out of mold with fingertips and onto baking sheet. Repeat, spacing cookies 1 inch apart, and placing same-size cookies on same sheet. Let stand, uncovered, for 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until completely dry, about 1 hour. (They should not color; reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees if cookies start to color.) Let cookies cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies will keep, unglazed and covered, for up to 2 to 3 weeks.
- Make the glaze: Mix lemon extract and a pinch of luster or petal dust in a small bowl, adding more dust as needed to get desired color. (You will need only a little dust; the mixture should remain runny). Using a very fine paintbrush, brush the tinted extract onto the flat portion of each cookie around the relief. Using a clean, damp paintbrush, remove smudges. Mix additional extract and luster or petal dust in 1/2 teaspoon increments as needed.
SPRINGERLE COOKIES
If you read the story on my Pfefferneuse cookies, you will understand why I love these unusual German Christmas cookies. They were a staple at our house for the holidays. Interesting to bake, interesting to taste. I have even heard of people painting them with food color to decorate their tree. IMHO they are best dunked into a...

Steps:
- 1. IN a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and lemon colored. Add anise oil and mix well.
- 2. Stir in flour until well blended. It will be very stiff. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
- 3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Impress with a Springerle rolling pin (If you have one) and cut along the dividing lines or cut into 1 1/2 X 2 1/2 inch squares.
- 4. Set the squares on a lightly floured board sprinkled with anise seed or wax paper lined cookie sheet sprinkled with flour and anise seed to prevent sticking.
- 5. Very Important Step: Let the cookies dry uncovered at room temperature for at least 10 hours. (We used to just put the pans/boards in the electric oven overnight to get them out of the way.)
- 6. Remove pans from oven if you used that method of drying and heat oven to 325 degrees. Transfer the cookies to a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake 12-15 minutes. These cookies should not brown much if at all. Bottom might be slightly golden.
- 7. Remove cookies to cooling rack and let cool to room temp. Store in an airtight container with a whole apple for 1-3 weeks until softened. Check occasionally for mold on the apple, and remove and replace if necessary.
- 8. If you are interested in springerle rolling pins or molds, take a look at eBay and see how many beautiful patterns there are for impressing the designs. Also, You can find springerle pins at Sur La Table, or probably Cooking.com. My next older sister inherited my mothers pin, so I will have to make an investment in one to follow the family tradition.
OLD COUNTRY SPRINGERLE
Springerle recipe from Germany. The best! This recipe has been used in my family for at least 6 generations. The results more than make up for the long, labor-intensive prep and proofing process. There are hundreds of these in our kitchens and dining rooms around the holidays! The anise gives a very distinctive licorice-like flavor. If someone tastes one for the first time and doesn't like it, I take the rest of the cookie and eat it so it doesn't go to waste. I actually don't bake long enough for the cookies to turn brown.

SPRINGERLE VI
Soft at first, these cookies harden into 'dunkers' after about 3 weeks. (Yes, they keep a long time!) They need a mold for the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cookie, but I bet that they can be made by simply cutting them out. You can substitute other flavorings for anise - lemon and almond are good.
