Springerle Cookies

Springerle cookies were made every year by my grandma, because she said her mother-in-law always made them. They smelled delicious, but as a child, that’s where it ended for me. The anise flavoring is akin to black licorice, of which I am not a fan. But the older generation loves it – will they vote it on in Twitter?

Pizzelles

Pizzelles are beautiful cookies and not traditionally sweet like a normal cookie. They don’t use dough, but like a pancake batter mixture that is fried. There is a true Pizelle maker, just like a waffle has it own maker, and they have different patterns to make designs on the cookies. Once the cookie is fried up, it can be dusted with powdered sugar before serving.

Make sure you have the proper tools before you try the Pizzelle recipe here.
