Provided by MARBALET

Categories     German Recipes

Yield 2 to 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon anise seed, ground
1 tablespoon anise seed, crushed

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour and baking powder, set aside. In a large bowl, whip the eggs and sugar until thick and light. Stir in the lemon zest and ground anise. Add the flour mixture, mix well. Cover and chill dough for about an hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Traditionally, you would roll over the dough with a springerle rolling pin, but the dough can be cut into small shapes of any kind. Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets, sprinkle with anise seed and leave out uncovered, overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake cookies for 25 to 30 minutes.

MANDELSPRITZGEBäCK (GERMAN CHRISTMAS ALMOND COOKIES)



Mandelspritzgebäck (German Christmas Almond Cookies) image

I can't remember a single holiday season without this typical German cookie recipe. My Mom and my mother-in-law bake these cookies. As a child we helped bake them, and the fun part for us kids was always to "style" the cookies. I prefer them with any icing or decoration.

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 50 cookies, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/3 cups ground almonds (blanched)
3 drops bitter almond oil (see note)
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven (375°F, 190°C).
  • Grease baking trays.
  • Mix butter with sugar until creamy. Add egg and egg yolk and mix until foamy.
  • Add almonds and a few drops oil of bitter almonds.
  • Add flour (mixed with baking powder) little by little and mix. The dough should be elastic, but will not be smooth.
  • Fill in the dough into a cookie press with big star nozzle or better into a meat grinder with a big star nozzle.
  • Make/press dough strings of about 2 to 3-inches. Form dough strings into rings, "S", horseshoes or any other shapes you like and place on baking tray.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes. Cookies should still be light.
  • NOTE: Oil of bitter almonds: if you can't find it, use almond extract.
  • NOTE on cookie press: the dough is elastic but not smooth. So using a simple icing bag could be difficult. I use a meat grinder with a special cookie star nozzle. You can use a suited cookie press.
  • NOTE on custom yield: I really can't give the correct custom yield. But the amount will make several baking trays. Baking time is given for one tray.
