Springerle Cookies image

My Grandma would make these every year at Christmas - we called them "pillow cookies" because they puff up when they bake. Now that my Grandma is gone, I use the Springerle rolling pin she always used--what a wonderful way to remember her!

Time P1DT30m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs
3 cups flour
4 1/4 cups powdered sugar (1 pound)
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2-1 teaspoon anise extract
anise seed

Steps:

  • In large mixer bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick & lemon colored.
  • Continue beating while adding sugar slowly; add flour, baking powder, lemon peel & anise extract- beat together completely.
  • On a well-floured board, roll out some of the dough with a plain rolling pin to about 1/2" thickness; lightly flour Springerle rolling pin & roll it firmly across dough to impress patterns (try to keep dough about 1/2" thick).
  • Cut cookies apart between patterns.
  • Place cookies 1/2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets, and allow them to dry uncovered overnight (12 hours).
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 250-300° & place cookies 1/2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 25-30 minutes until firm but still white.
  • Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • Store cookies in a tightly covered container with some anise seeds.
  • Flavor develops fully after about 2 weeks.

I had trouble getting the dough to the right consistency. It was either too sticky or too dry.

I'm not usually a fan of anise, but I was pleasantly surprised by these cookies. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering. The cookies are also very light and airy.
