For a more intense anise flavor, try grinding some of the anise seed and adding it directly to the dough. If you don't have a springerle rolling pin, you can use other decorative stamps or simply cut the dough into traditional shapes. The drying time is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking. Don't skip this step! Experiment with different flavorings! A touch of lemon zest or almond extract can add a delightful twist to this classic recipe.

02 Step
Recipe View Add the sugar and softened butter to the bowl. Cream together until the mixture is light and fluffy. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

08 Step
Recipe View Sprinkle anise seeds evenly over a clean tea towel. Place the cut cookies on the towel, ensuring the anise seeds adhere to the bottoms. Leave the cookies uncovered at room temperature overnight to dry. This crucial step helps the cookies retain their shape during baking. (Approximately 8-12 hours)
09 Step
Recipe View Carefully transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10 Step
