Springerle Joy Christmas Cookies

I am so excited today to tell you story behind these beautiful Springerle Joy Christmas Cookies.

When I was at Cookie Con I decided to crash a few of the Pre-Cookie Con Classes when I arrived. I went to see some old friends and made a few new one’s. I had never met Patrice from Springerle Joy but the funny thing about it is we became friends instantly.

I am normally kind of shy when it comes to asking people to guest post on my blog, but for some reason, I wasn’t going to leave Cookie Con until Patrice said she would do a post for you. She asked me what I wanted her to make and I told her to make something that she liked. Well, she not only made something she liked, she made something I love! Springerle Joy Christmas Cookies Tutorial | The Bearfoot Baker

I am going to be honest with you. When I got home from Cookie Con, I got on my computer and started watching Patrice’s video on how to make the cookies because I have never tried to make them before. I watched her recipe video but before I could make them she sent me this tutorial using my gingerbread cookie recipe and I was blown away. I am telling you, you need to become friends with Patrice because she is amazing! Not only is she creative and talented, she is one of the sweetest people I think I have ever met in my life!

Let’s make some cookies with her.

Guess what? After Cookie Con, Patrice mailed me this bear mold. I love it and can’t wait to use it. He is adorable!

Here is a word from Patrice:

You can create gorgeous and delicious cookies fast using The Bearfoot Baker’s gingerbread cookie recipe and cookie molds from Springerle Joy. The key to fine detail in the cookies is to refrigerate the molded cookies for 1/2 hour before baking. That’s it!
