Here's one more that is super-delicious (and rich). It's "Dream Bars"
from the Sunset Favorite Recipes book. I have to make it every
Christmas, just because it is there. ;-) If your family and guests
are like mine, you'll make more than one batch before the holidays are
over. The bars are almost like candy.

Dream Bars

Oh, yes, most definitely! These sound delicious. Thanks again.

Pretty cool, Wayne.

About the Springerle cookies, where do you get your molds?

I use a springerle rolling pin, not a flat mold. I've had it for years,
but it's similar to this one:

One thing I REALLY want in life is an old springerle rolling
pin. I have memories of my second mother using one for her
beloved batches of springerles. I keep looking at antiques
shops and shows, and sometimes online, and I have not found
one to my liking.

Oh, for you, I wish I still lived in the little town we left in Ohio 7
years ago. There was a sprawling but very old antique shop in the area
that had an uncountable number of very old rolling pins, including a fair
number of Springerle pins. They were all genuinely old and used, but in
good shape.
