BASLER LACKERLI (SWISS SPICED HONEY COOKIES)

From Gourmet magazine, December 1994. When I was growing up, my grandma's sister would send us a tin of Basler Lackerli every year for Christmas. I loved those cookies so much and haven't forgotten the taste. I picked up a few issues of Gourmet magazine at a library sale. Imagine my surprise when I came across this recipe. I even made my own candied orange peel. Although this isn't the exact recipe I remember, it is pretty close, and I hope to surprise, and delight, a few people at Christmas this year.

BASLER LECKERLI (SWISS SPICED HARD BARS)

These are very special bars developed by the local spice merchants and made with lots of honey - very sweet, they taste just wonderful... The Leckerli was invented between 1431 and 1449. It was used to feed church dignitaries when the pope was in Basel.

Steps:

  • Melt honey very slowly in a pan, add almonds, sugar and swirl until the sugar is melted too.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Add all other ingredients until the Kirsch and mix well.
  • Add the flour and eventually the baking soda and work to a compact dough.
  • Roll the dough out on two greased baking sheets approximately 5 mm thick.
  • Store overnight.
  • Preheat the oven at 180°C (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
  • Prepare the glaze heating in a pot water and sugar until boiling point. Reduce the heat but let it boil slowly.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes at 180°C (I need 18 minutes).
  • In the meanwhile the glaze should be ready. It takes about 15 to 20 Minutes until it thickens, it's bound and crystals appear.
  • Remove from the heat but keep on a slightly warm plate.
  • When the dough is baked, remove pans to a rack and immediately cut in rectangles (but don't separate them completely) brush the tops with glaze.
  • When cooled dived the rectangles and store in airtight containers.
  • Note: you can built a gingerbread house with this dough! I used 3 fold quantities for the gingerbread house of the picture!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Sift together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and baking soda.
  • Combine honey, sugar and water in a small saucepan.
  • Place over low heat until the honey just melts- do not let it boil.
  • Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the dough hook.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Add the sifted flour mixture, the almonds, orange peel and lemon zest.
  • Blend until the mixture comes together in a heavy, sticky dough, adding a spoonful or two of water if needed.
  • (The mixing can be done by hand, but it's labor intensive) Resist the urge to add more water to make the dough easier to handle; it would impair the texture of the finished cookies.
  • Spread the dough about 1/2 to 1 inch thick on the baking sheets, forming 3 rectangles, each about 8 x 9 inches.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops turn a medium brown.
  • When the dough rectangles have baked, remove pans to a rack and immediately brush the tops with glaze.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Cut into 1 x 3-inch bars or into diamond shapes.
  • Transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Ice with a simple sugar glaze.
  • Store in airtight containers, placing wax paper between layers.
  • Let rest at least 1 week, preferably longer.
