2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 t. Salt
2 t. baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 t. vanilla
1 T. milk
1/4 t. anise flavoring
Sift dry ingredients together. Cream sugar and shortening, add eggs, vanilla and anise. Add sifted ingredients and milk. Roll and cut out. Bake 375 for 10 minutes.
I am of German descent and always had/made Springerle cookies, a German lady taught my part Irish Mother how to cook. BUT these just came from the oven and boy are they good. I used GF-Krusteaz flour mix and was a little dry but will be making these again. Now to make some powdered Truvia to frost them.
Thank you, ube quilting for asking about your recipe and rainbowzebra for posting.
