Classic Christmas Cookies ~ Springerles

When I was growing up, Mom and Aunt Hattie got together for a cookie-baking day every December. We’d come home from school to a kitchen table loaded with dozens of all kinds of cookies. 

One of my favorites was the anise-flavored, rectangular Springerles. Their designs are created with a special rolling pin. 

No one made Springerles as delicious as my dear aunt. Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have her recipe anymore. 

But here’s one from the All Recipes website. If you try it, be sure to send me a cookie!
