Ah, the Cookie Christmases of Childhood   a rhyme by Gene Wilson, 2007

A Christmas tradition: our springerle cakes...  What a nice impression this quaint cookie makes!
Dainty and white, embossed "picture pillows,"  An anise-hartshorn aroma billows...
As our sweet German recipe slowly bakes.

Grandma's recipe may still be the best...  With oil of anise - or with orange zest!
Springerle doughs are quite simple mixtures,  Their crowning glory is in their PICTURES!

Shaping springerle cookies - as we should,  We "imprint" the dough with a mold of wood.
Their beautiful designs are truly a delight,  Baked in the oven - after drying overnight.
Ah, the "Cookie Christmases" of childhood.

BAKING WITH COOKIE MOLDS 
by Anne L. Watson

     In this groundbreaking book, Anne L. Watson restores cookie
molds to an honored place in the cookie baker’s kitchen by
revealing long-lost secrets to their use. With Anne’s techniques
and recipes, tasty cookies with lovely, detailed designs will literally
fall from the mold into your hand.
          Learn how to make traditional molded cookies like speculaas, springerle, and shortbread, as well as modern ones like White Chocolate Lime Cookies and Orange Blossom Wedding Cookies. 
         Learn the tricks of sandwich cookies, layer cookies, chocolate backing, and exhibition cookies. 
         And learn about the molds themselves—the many kinds, their history, the best places to find them,  how to treat them, what makes a good one, and which ones to avoid entirely.  
       With nearly two dozen recipes and over six dozen photos, BAKING WITH COOKIE MOLDS will quickly have you making cookies that both amaze and delight.
