Traditional Springerle (A Classic German Christmas Cookie!)

The impressive, homemade platter of beautiful and festive Traditional Springerle cookies being served as the centerpiece on a cookie platter at a sophisticated Christmas party.

A classic recipe for traditional German ‘Springerle’ Christmas cookies. These iconic, licorice-flavored cookies are known for their beautiful, intricate designs, which are created by pressing the dough with special molds. A key step in this recipe is allowing the embossed cookies to dry overnight on a bed of crushed anise seeds, which sets the design and infuses the cookies with their signature flavor. They are then baked at a very low temperature to keep them pale and crisp.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 ½ tablespoons crushed anise seeds
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Spray 4 cookie sheets with cooking spray, then sprinkle them evenly with the crushed anise seeds. Set the cookie sheets aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together until well blended.
  3. In a separate large bowl, place the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 to 8 minutes, until the mixture is light, frothy, and has increased in volume.
  4. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. The dough will become very thick.
  5. Working with handfuls of the dough at a time, roll it out onto a lightly floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Lightly sift the confectioners’ sugar over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
  7. Press your Springerle molds firmly and evenly onto the dough to register the design.
  8. Use a small knife to cut around each cookie and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared, anise-seeded cookie sheets.
  9. Repeat the process until all the dough has been used.
  10. Cover the cookies with a lightweight cotton cloth and allow them to dry for 8 hours, or overnight. This step is crucial for setting the design.
  11. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  12. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are pale and the cookies are set.
  13. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • This is a traditional German Christmas cookie, famous for its embossed designs and anise flavor.
  • The 8-hour (or overnight) drying period is the most important step; it ensures the intricate designs remain sharp and do not puff away during baking.
  • The cookies are baked at a very low temperature, which is a drying process that keeps them pale and crisp.
  • These cookies are known for having a hard, crunchy texture, perfect for dipping in tea or coffee.
