Direcciones
- Beat the Large eggs, and gradually add in the confectioner's sugar. Gradually add in the rest of the dry ingredients. If it gets too dry, you can wet it with 1/2 ounce. of Ouzo, but this makes the cookies fairly strong. Refrigeratecovered for about 6 hrs.
- Put dough on a lightly floured surface, roll out, and press with a springerle mold (a square cookie mold with designs on it). Place cookies on a floured surface and allow them to dry out overnight (sounds odd, but you'll get used to it after tasting the first batch). Grease a cookie sheet with butter or possibly margarine lightly, and sprinkle it with some of the crushed anise seeds. Bake the cookies at about 250-275F for about a half an hour or possibly till done.
- Don't LET THEM TURN BROWN; they are supposed to be white. If you want a glossy sheen, brush them with an egg white before cooking.
