Introduction
My grandmother's treasured German cookie recipe. I understand the Germans make them for Easter, but we always made them at Christmas with the lebkuchen and the pfefferneuse.

Ingredients
-
3 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw
1.5 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tsp Lemon Peel (Zest, grated)
0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 cup Flour - Gold medal all purpose flour
0.75 tsp Baking Powder
0.25 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Anise Seed
Tips
Makes 4 dozen. Easily doubles, if you want. They go great with a cup of coffee or tea.
Directions
Beat eggs until light. Gradually beat in sugar until very pale and thick. Stir in lemon peel & vanilla. Set wet ingredients aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Dust your work surface with flour and roll dough 1/2 inch thick if you are using a springerle pin or molds to make designs. otherwise, roll slightly thinner and cut into rectangles roughly about 2 inches by 1.5 inches. On a non-stick baking sheet (or one very lightly sprayed with nonstick spray), sprinkle the anise seeds. place the cookies on the seeds and set somewhere clean and dry, covered with paper towels, for 24 hours, or until the surface sets.
Set oven to 325F, bake 15-20 minutes, turning halfway. Don't let them brown. Cool your cookies on a rack, and store in an airtight container for 10 days before eating...yeah right!
