springerle (little horse) mold or rolling pin with additional flour. Press
mold on dough hard enough to make a clear design; repeat for the remaining
dough (Roll springerle rolling pin on dough, pressing hard enough to make a

overnight. Sprinkle a greased cookie sheet with crushed aniseed. Brush
excess flour from cookies. With finger, rub bottom of each cookie lightly
with cold water. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake in 300 degree oven
about 18 minutes or until a light straw color. Remove to wire rack; cool.
