Springerle Cookies

Springerle is a type of German biscuit with an embossed design made by pressing a mold onto rolled dough and allowing the impression to dry before baking. This preserves the detail of the surface pattern.

All my molds are from House on the Hill. If you would like to order any of these as cookies, please include the design, type of cookie, and if you choose the Springerle, include the flavor, one flavor per batch please, but you may choose several designs per batch.

*Quantity varies, as the size of each mold varies.*
Flavors:


  • Traditional (Anise)
  • Vanilla
  • Almond
  • Lemon
  • Orange
  • Orange Blossom
  • Chocolate

I can also use these molds to make the following:


  • Speculaas or Spekulaitus (a holiday tradition in Holland, Belgium, Northern Germany, and Scandinavia)
  • Molded Gingerbread Cookies
  • Frankfurter Brenten (white marzipan cookies from Frankfurt, German)
  • Shortbread
  • Marzipan
  • Chocolate Modeling Clay
  • Edible Peanut Butter Fondant.
