Springerle Cookies

[diablita]

Amazing!  And I'd really like to reach through my computer screen and eat one right now.

So pretty!

I am trying to decide whether cookies made with shaved horns are vegetarian? I think the answer is yes since the horns are shed naturally. But if they cut them off, then no. (like chicken eggs vs roe)

I'd agree- it's a natural shed.

I do have to say that in an ammonia vs baking powder comparison the ammonia does create a crisper cookie.  And the only reason for the soaking is so that it incorporates jnto the dough well- the granules don't dissolve quickly enough for a direct add.

antlers shed naturally, horns do not
