How to Make Springerle Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, anise seeds, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease your Springerle molds.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  7. Carefully press the dough into the molds, ensuring that the design is evenly imprinted.
  8. Remove excess dough and carefully lift the cookies from the molds.
  9. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
