I used a German Springerle Cookie Rolling Pin, then a pizza cutter to cut the cookies a part. The dough was kind of sticky and needed some flour to work with it but it was fast and easy.I work with developmentally disabled adults and they made the cookies as described above and they all loved them.I made several batches at home as well.

This cookie has become my favorite Christmas cookie. Has a very crisp, fresh lemon flavor in contrast to other cookies on the Christmas tray. Is, however, time consuming to make.

Turned out beautiful and very gourmet-looking. (I used a circle cutter.) The dough was difficult to mix and work with, but it did turn out very flaky. Don't know if I'd make again due to time involved. The glaze is fantastic, though, and I will definitely make that again.
