Springerle

 

Springerle [pronounced: shpringerluh] cookies are often described as “too pretty to eat.” But please do! These edible works of art are Linda’s specialty, and she enjoys collecting the fabulous molds for them almost as much as baking and eating them.

The traditional flavor of Springerle is anise, but Linda has perfected several alternate natural flavors, made with flavoring oils, never extracts. Try Linda's soft, delectable works of art and you will never again settle for hard, dry Springerle cookies! Choose from anise, lemon, raspberry, orange, lavender, rose, or almond flavor. All are made without fat and with pure natural flavoring oils—no extracts! Springerle can be safely stored in airtight containers for months.

Please allow 60 days advance notice for catering large events.

Springerle may be brushed with dark chocolate on the bottom, for an especially delectable confection. Springerle designs can be painted in soft colors or highlighted with gold or silver dust. Beautiful antique mold designs are available to suit a huge range of themes—love and marriage, baby, children, religious, patriotic, home, flowers/garden, fruits, architecture, professions/guilds, animals, birds, seasons, decorative designs, wine and grapes, travel, Christmas, Easter… Apply your imagination!

Rose Petal Cookies

What could be better than roses? Chocolate and roses! Linda melds this sublime combination into a single scrumptious cookie that any Valentine will adore. It's the essence of romance--flowers, perfume, and chocolate all rolled into one superb gift. And the recipe, including organic red rose petals, rose flower water, and a secret blend of natural flavors and spices, is ours alone.

One dozen 2½" cookies, molded in a rose motif and brushed on the back with rose-scented chocolate, provide a special means of saying, "I love you" to the significant people in your life.

Our rose flavored cookies are also available without chocolate, as miniature "Popcorn" Springerle, or packaged for wedding favors. Especially for Valentine's Day, we also offer six cookies, hand painted, in an organdy gift bag.

$23.99 for 12


Spice Road Chocolate Printen

Linda's original Spice Road Chocolate Printen recipe won first place at the 2005 Chocolate Extravaganza competition in Hermann, Missouri. With its traditional molded appearance and uniquely delicious chocolate and spice flavor components, it is a perfect melding of Old World and New World sensibilities. (In German, "Printen" describes any printed cookie, such as Springerle or Speckulatius.)

This delightful, fragrant cookie is a tasty interpretation that surely would have pleased the innovative bakers of Medieval Europe. During the Middle Ages, intriguing new imports traveled from the exotic East via the Spice Road, encouraging bold new taste experiments. When cocoa made its debut in European port cities served by ships from the New World, Renaissance cooks happily added chocolate to their repertoires, as well.

Sold in bags of ten 3" cookies, each printed with a charming 16th century floral and berry design.

Lebkuchen

Popular for hundreds of years, there is no more beloved cookie in Germany than Lebkuchen—a spicy cake-like honey cookie that requires aging to reach its perfection. Linda uses an authentic old Nürnberg recipe to produce these soft and chewy treats that star at Germany’s famous Christmas Markets. Lebkuchen are traditionally baked on white edible disks called back-oblaten, thin wafers that become a part of the cookies and help preserve them.

Our Lebkuchen are made with nutritious ingredients, including honey, almonds, a bevy of fresh spices, and candied citron, and decorated with candied cherries and sliced almonds. They are brushed with a glaze of sugar and rum. Stored in an airtight container, these cookies keep for weeks and continue to improve in flavor. Lebkuchen are an old-fashioned wholesome indulgence!

The Lebkuchen are 2” (50mm) in diameter and are baked on traditional white baking wafers (backoblaten). Dough and baked cookies must each be aged (a total of about three weeks is required). Available for shipment November 1, as available. We have limited stock on hand. Plan ahead to savor the delights of Lebkuchen!


Available in November & December

$23.99 for 15


Candied Citrus Peels

Perfect for afternoon tea, with after-dinner liqueurs, or as a late night snack.

An old-fashioned sweet-tart confection. Amy painstakingly removes the flavorful zest (outer peel) from oranges, lemons, and grapefruit and candies them in small batches. Scintillating! Sold in packages of 36.

 

$10.99 per bag

$14.99 chocolate-dipped
