BASLER LECKERLI (SWISS SPICED HARD BARS)



Basler Leckerli (Swiss Spiced Hard Bars) image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 100-150 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

800 g honey
300 g unbleached slivered almonds
400 g sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 pinches ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
100 g candied orange peel, chopped
100 g candied lemon peel, chopped
1 lemons lemon, grated zest only (optional)
60 ml kirsch
1 teaspoon baking soda (optional) or 1 teaspoon potash (optional)
1000 g flour
250 g sugar
110 ml water

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!

BASLER LECKERLI (SWISS CHRISTMAS COOKIE BARS)



Basler Leckerli (Swiss Christmas Cookie Bars) image

Basler Leckerli means 'little delicious things from Basel'. And that is just what they are - chewy little cookies that are spicy and fruity at the same time. And they get better the longer they're stored! (egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free option included)

Provided by by Margaret Bose Johnson, Kitchen Frau

Categories     Baking

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups (250gms) finely chopped almonds ((1½ cups whole almonds, chopped))
1/3 cup (60gms) packed candied orange peel
1/3 cup (60gms) packed candied citron peel
zest of one organic lemon
4¼ cups (600gms) regular flour (or 4 cups/550gms gluten free flour blend)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups (500gms) honey
1 cup (200gms) natural evaporated cane sugar (or 1⅓ cups/200 gms coconut sugar)
¾ cup (90gms) icing sugar/powdered sugar/confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper that sticks up at least one inch (2.5 cm) on each side.
  • Finely chop the almonds and candied peel. You can do this by hand or in the food processor (much easier). For the food processor, chop the almonds coarsely first, then add the peel and process together until they are evenly ground, with little chunks of the nuts still remaining.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the chopped nuts, peel, lemon zest, flour, spices, baking powder, and salt.
  • Heat the honey and sugar in a small pot on the stove until the sugar is melted and the honey is warm. Do not allow it to boil.
  • Pour the hot honey over the flour mixture and stir or mix (in the stand mixer) until the batter is blended into a thick, sticky dough. It will be very firm.
  • Divide the dough in two and put half into each prepared pan. Use a metal spoon to scrape the remaining dough out of the mixing bowl and add it to the rest.
  • Using damp fingers (keep dipping them in water as needed), push and pat the dough into a 9" x 13" (23 x 33 cm) rectangle on each cookie sheet. Work quickly while the dough is still warm, as it gets harder to work with as it cools. This takes effort and muscle. Pinch off pieces of dough from the thicker spots and press them into the thinner spots until the rectangle is of even thickness. Pat the top smooth with damp fingertips. Dock the dough all over with a fork (poke the fork straight down through the batter until it touches the cookie tin, 1 to 2 inches apart, all over the dough rectangle). Trim off excess parchment paper so it sticks up no more than one inch (2.5cm) above the cookie dough.
  • Allow the pans to rest at room temperature, covered with a clean dish towel, for two hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Bake the cookie sheets for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating them halfway and using a spatula to press down any parts of the dough that have bubbled or bulged up. The edges of the dough should just be starting to brown.
  • While the cookies are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients.
  • Brush the glaze all over the top of the two cookie rectangles as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • While still warm, lift the cookie slabs from the cookie sheets using the parchment paper to hold onto, and transfer them onto a large cutting board. Cut the cookie slabs into 1" x 2" (2.5 x 5 cm) bars. You can trim off a thin strip from the outside edges first, if desired. Use a large, sharp knife and work quickly to cut the cookies while still warm, as they are hard to cut once they cool.
  • Allow the cookies to cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight, covered container. The are best if left for at least a week to soften and mellow the flavours, but need a minimum of one day in the container before they should be eaten.
  • The cookies will keep for up to two months, in a sealed container at cool room temperature and up to six months in the freezer (age at room temperature for one week before freezing). If you're storing the cookies at room temperature and they get too hard, put a few wedges of apple or some orange peels into the container with them and after a few days they will have softened considerably.
  • Make 8 dozen Basler Leckerli cookie bars (that sounds like a lot, but they are small and keep forever! (They freeze well, too).

BASLER LACKERLI (SWISS SPICED HONEY COOKIES)



Basler Lackerli (Swiss Spiced Honey Cookies) image

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.
