GEWUERZPLAETZCHEN (TRADITIONAL GERMAN SPICE COOKIES)
This recipe comes from Dr. Oetker and is very, very good. It gets better and better as the cookies age and the taste is just wonderful. I think these cookies bring instant Christmas spirit to even the most uncheerful person. ;) I hope you like them as much as we do! Note: These need to chill for 1 hour.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of anise, so I was hesitant to try these cookies. But I'm glad I did! The anise flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cookies are really delicious.

[email protected]These cookies didn't turn out right for me. I think I overmixed the dough, because they came out tough. But the flavor was still good.

[email protected]The cookies were easy to make and turned out great. I used a mix of honey and maple syrup instead of just honey, and they were still delicious.
