Category: Cookie

Ingredients

• 4.5 eggs
• 1 pound (3.5 cups) powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 pound (3–4 cups) flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Anise seeds, crushed

Instructions

1. Beat eggs until light-colored and almost dry—this takes a long time, and an electric mixer is recommended.
2. Beat the sugar into the eggs.
3. Combine the flour and baking powder. Work into the eggs to make a delicate dough.
4. Grease several cookie sheets and scatter generously with crushed anise seeds.
5. Roll the dough gently and carefully imprint with springerle mold. Cut into pieces and transfer to baking sheets. Allow to dry overnight.
6. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 25–30 minutes.
