TOC owner and baker Linda Walker Stevens is a writer and historian residing in historic Hermann, Missouri. She has been baking her soft, delightful Springerle for 25 years.

Springerle are a centuries-old confection, still popular in Germany, Switzerland, and Alsace. The oldest known mold was carved in the 12th century. Wooden molds were also used to print gingerbread, Lebkuchen, or Spekulatius cookies.
