Springerles (German Anise Cookies)
1 doz. fresh eggs
3 # powdered sugar
3 # flour (10 cups
2 tsp. baking powder
3-4 tsp. anise oil (and seeds, if available)
Beat eggs well for 10 minutes. Beat each pound of powdered sugar as you add to eggs at least 5 minutes. Sift flour and baking powder, then add slowly to make a stiff dough. Mix well. Add anise oil. Roll out (not too thin - about 1/4") and let dry in a cool place overnight. Cut into squares or, if you have a Springerle rolling pin, roll it over the dough and cut the patterned squares.
NOTE: Cut into squares first and then let them stand overnight.
Bake 350 degrees for approx. 5-6 minutes-do not brown.
Makes 10 dozen.
