Lea Stolze on Instagram: "Did you ever hear of "Springerle"? Springerle are traditional German cookies that date back to the Middle Ages. Originating in southern Germany, they are known for their detailed embossed designs and their delicate anise flavor. Once baked for special occasions and holidays, Springerle were a way to tell stories through patterns and symbols — a sweet piece of history passed down through generations."
