Springerle

Servings: 40 Cookies
Category: Cookies | Christmas | Holidays
Ingredients

  • 1 lb Powdered sugar; sifted
  • 4 Eggs
  • 4 1/2 c Cake flour
  • 2 1/2 ts Baking powder
  • 1/4 ts Salt
  • 1 tb Lemon zest
  • Crushed anise seeds

Directions
Beat the eggs with an electric mixer for 10 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients along with the lemon zest and a 1/2 teaspoon of the anise seeds to the egg mixture. Mix well. Cover tightly and chill 4-5 hours. Divide the dough into fourths. Roll 1/4″ thick, dust lightly with flour and press with springerle mold. Cut the individual cookies apart with a cutter wheel. Place them on a lightly floured surface, cover with a towel and let stand to dry overnight. Grease baking sheets and sprinkle them with anise seeds. Brush the excess flour from the cookies, place them on the sheets and bake at 250F for 25 to 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Makes 35 to 40 cookies. Note: Springerle boards are special wooden molds used to stamp designs into the cookies. They can also come in the form of a roller. These items can be found in specialty food stores or in gift shops specializing in German keepsakes. If you cannot find a springerle board, just cut the cookies in squares or cut them with cookie cutters, or use the other popular cookie stamps that are available.

  • 3 oz Pkg cream cheese;softened
  • 1 Egg

Directions
THIS CAME FROM PILLSBURY MMM COOKIES COOK BOOK Heat oven to 375. In large bowl combine cake mix, butter, cream cheese and egg at low speed until mixture forms a dough. Fill cookie press; form desired shapes 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 to 3 min. Remove from cookie sheets. NOTE: refrigerate dough for easier handling. NOTE #2: I have used lemon, spice, devil’s food, and pineapple cake mixes with very good results. NOTE #3: With the white , lemon, and pineapple mixes, decorate with cut up cherries, and/or sprinkle with red and green sugar. With the spice and chocolate mixes, add a almond or half of walnut or pecan to the top of the cookies. These cookies are very simple and quick to make, especially if you have to make a batch up quickly for the holidays. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #2 by Beynong@AOL.COM on Jan 3, 1999

Snowballs

Servings: 48 servings
Category: Cookies | Fatfree
Ingredients

  • 2 lg Egg whites
  • 1/8 ts Cream of tartar
  • 1/2 c Sugar
  • 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
  • 1 Bar white chocolate; *NOTE
  • -broken into squares or
  • -coarsely chopped,(3 ounces)
  • Mixed color decors; OR
  • -silver dragees, optional

Directions
*NOTE broken into squares or coarsely chopped,(3 oz) Light, crisp and with only a scant amount of fat, snowballs are tiny meringues capped with white chocolate and sprinkled with dot-size decorating candies for a festive finish. Meringues are easy to make, but for egg whites to whip properly, they must be free of fat. Use a dry, clean glass or metal bowl for beating the whites. If a speck of yolk breaks into the whites, scoop it out with a piece of egg shell. If you’re handy with a pastry bag, use one fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tube to form the snowballs. I use a scoop that holds about 2 1/2 teaspoons to form even mounds, but you can shape snowballs with a teaspoon. Meringues don’t change shape when they bake, so smooth any ragged edges before baking. Used a 3-ounce bar of Lindt Swiss White Tablette Blanche in this recipe. White chocolate requires less heat than regular chocolate to melt, so I set it in a bowl in a pan of hot (not simmering) water and stir until smooth. Preheat oven to 200 deg F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until meringue holds glossy, stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla. Drop meringue, about 2 teaspoons for each cookie, 1 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 2 hours or until meringues are thoroughly dry to touch but not browned; rotate baking sheets halfway through baking. Remove cookies from oven and cool completely. Peel off parchment or foil. Melt white chocolate in a bowl set in a pan of hot water: stir until chocolate melts. Using a butter knife, spread 1/4 teaspoon white chocolate over top of each cookie. If desired, sprinkle a few color decors or silver dragees over each cookie before chocolate sets. Store at room temperature in a tightly covered container. Makes 4 dozen 1 1/4-inch cookies.
