I'm an American. When I was a little girl we lived in Germany for 3 years of my mother would make these. For some reason should make them in November and keep them in the freezer. She said that was just the way it was done. I'm not sure that's true anybody can tell me? She had a rolling pin that had the designs carved into it! I really love these cookies thank you so much happy holidays everyone!
Hey Laura It makes me happy that you found this recipe and that you had this happy memory connected to it :) Keep them in the freezer is a very good idea, my grandmother and myself also do that. They are much fresher then if you keep them in a box for 1 month until Christmas 🎄 Happy Christmas time 😇
@@cookswiss2024 I have red on another cookie site that someone had suggest storing the cookies with the little slice of apple attached to the lid of the container so that the cookies would stay moist. I remember them being more drive and moist. My mother said something about they needed to age. I thought it might be to let the anise permeate the cookies. I guess it would depend on whether you using anise seed or the liquid. If you use the liquid you could eat them right away. I'm thanks again I've truly appreciate it! I wish you and yours a really wonderful holiday and many blessings in 2001!
That sounds interesting too with the piece of apple 🧐 I think you / your mother is right about the aging, they do taste not very strong directly after baking, i remember now :) good information thx 🙏 Wish you a happy Christmas too 🎄🎄🎄
I inherited Springerle duty and a carved rolling pin from my Mom. She also said they should age a little. I think she may be right. One time, one did last almost two weeks before it got eaten. I'm still new at this. My recipe uses liquid anise. My cookies were bland until last year when I discovered that the most commonly available liquids are just 1/4 the strength of the better ones.
Hey Dr Watch If you go in Amazon.com and search for “Springerle mould” you can find a decent amount of good moulds :) www.amazon.com/s?k=speingerle+mould&ref=nb_sb_noss
