MONASTERY COOKIE ASSORTMENT

Traditional cookies made by Benedictine Sisters in the monastery's bakery using simple ingredients, classic recipes, time-honored techniques and (of course) lots of prayer. These are truly Old World style cookies! Net weight approx 12 oz..

  • SPRINGERLE (6 cookies): Anise-flavored, crisp outside, soft inside. Cookie molds (with symbols of Christmas) are over 100 years old, brought by the sisters from Germany.
  • GINGERSNAP (5 cookies): Said to have been invented by Benedictine monks, this sugar-coated cookie, chewy and spicy, is loved by young and old alike.
  • HILDEGARD (5 cookies): St. Hildegard's own recipe! She recommended them for slowing the aging process, creating a cheerful countenance, lightening a heavy heart and releasing intelligence. They're delicious, too!
  • ALMOND STARLETS (4 cookies): A delicious butter cookie with a sweet almond taste.
  • CHOCOLATE STARLETS (4 cookies): A butter cookie with a chocolate twist -- rich and truffle-like!

Monastery Immaculate Conception: Ferdinand, Indiana

The Ferdinand Benedictines are one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States -- over 100 members strong and thriving.

Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. More than 1,000 women have entered the community over the last 150+ years. They've expanded their ministries beyond education and beyond Ferdinand. Today, they serve as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, attorneys, youth ministers, administrators, entrepreneurs, activists, chaplains, librarians and more.

The history of Monastery Baked Goods is rooted in a love of baking among the sisters. In support of Christkindlmarkt, an annual German festival held in Ferdinand, the sisters started making and selling Springerle, a traditional German cookie. Today they produce a variety of cookies and other baked goods whose sales help to support their ministries.

Nice for a gift

Ordered and had a package sent to two people as a gift. Why only 4 stars?
The web site has a place to fill in a message to the gift recipient. Neither of my Valentines got the message. It did state who sent them though, but the personal touch was lost.

Cookies Were Heavenly

I received a box of the Springerle cookies from my sister. After the very first bite, I ordered some for one of my sons out of state. They were, shall we say, heavenly? They took me back to my grandma’s kitchen long ago, where she baked them every Christmas!

A Lovely Gift

These delicious cookies were gifted to our family a few years ago and we really enjoyed them. This year, we gifted them to some neighbors. They loved the variety, the flavors (the chocolate starlets were the favorite) and they commented on how fresh the cookies are.

Delicious! Loved the springerle cookies

Delicious! Loved the springerle cookies. They brought back memories of when I made them in the past. They are similar to an old world recipe I was given. The anise fragrance permeated the room. Will definitely order again.

Quite tasty!

The cookie assortment was lovely! I purchased it to taste the springerle. They were delicious and reminded me of my Mom making many batches at Christmas time. I still have her special rolling pin and perhaps I will attempt to make them. For now, I will enjoy these springerle made by the nuns.

Yummy cookies!

We loved the box of cookies, especially the spicy tiles and springerle which are hard to come by. If your priced were lower ($15/box), I would buy them as Christmas gifts.
