  • Preparation: 750 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (60.6 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 25 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 20 g Sugar, powdered
  • 0.3 g Anise seed
  • 0.3 g Baking powder

Method

  1. Makes 2 cookies as one serving; multiply the ingredients by 15 for a batch of about 30. Whisk the eggs and powdered sugar together for a good 10 minutes until thick, pale and tripled in volume.
  2. Fold in the flour, baking powder and anise seed to make a smooth, firm dough.
  3. Roll out on a well-floured surface and press a springerle mould or embossed rolling pin firmly into the dough to stamp a design, then cut around the shapes.
  4. Leave the stamped cookies uncovered at room temperature for at least 12 hours, until a dry skin forms; this keeps the pattern crisp as they bake.
  5. Bake at 150 °C (300 °F) for 18-20 minutes, until the base is just colored but the top stays pale.
  6. Cool completely before serving; they firm up as they cool.
