Springerles and speculaas.  I have a springerle roller that my Gramma had 
bought from Germany back in the early 1900s.  DH loves the springerles in 
the rock stage.  Says they are good for dipping in his coffee like biscotti 
and loves the anise flavor.  So, I put half in a tight lidded old canning 
jar with a slice of apple for the kidlets and me, half just go in his 
biscotti jar and stay hard as a rock <g>

Everyone loves the speculaas with all the warm spice flavors.

I usually make husarenhutchens but couldn't find any good hazelnuts and the 
deer and ground squirrels ate all my raspberries so didn't get any jam made. 
I've deer proofed the raspberries and when spring rolls around we're adding 
a few cats to keep the ground squirrel population under control. 
Husarenhutches will appear again next year!
