These whimsical shaped cookies are a Swiss Christmas tradition, obtaining a unique licorice flavor from whole fennel seeds. The recipe comes from Martha Bakes, episode 904, and requires 2 large eggs, 2 cups of candy sugar, 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds, 1 tablespoon of kirsch, 2 teaspoons of freshly grated lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting. The dough is mixed, divided, and shaped into crescents before being baked at 300 degrees for 25 minutes. These cookies are left to cool completely before serving.
