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.
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.

LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES
These cookies are bright with sweet lemony flavor, thanks to plenty of lemon zest, lemon juice and a generous coating of confectioners' sugar. The key to success with these cookies is chilling the dough before rolling it into balls. This helps slow down the spreading, giving the tops a chance to crinkle and crack during baking. Tossing the chilled dough balls in granulated sugar before coating in confectioners' sugar also helps the coating adhere, so the cookies are sweet and crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy inside.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat 1 cup of the granulated sugar and the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and food coloring if using and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in another small bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Toss each ball in the granulated sugar, then in the confectioners' sugar, coating it generously and thoroughly. Arrange the balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets (you should have 24 balls). Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Position the oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake until the cookies spread, the tops crack and the edges are firm, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

SWISS BASLER LECKERLI WITH KIRSCH
This is from "The Swiss Cookbook". I haven't made it yet. Times are guesstimates and do not include time for them to ripen or overnight resting time. Frankly, I won't be make the glaze with uncooked egg whites. I think there is a specialty baking item that contains pasteruized egg whites.

Steps:
- Pour honey into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Add Kirsch. Stir in sugar. Return to medium heat. Stir in everything else except flour and glaze ingredients. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the flour graadually until the dough cleans the side of the pan. This should take about 15 minutes. If the dough is still sticky, add more flour, a little at a time.
- Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2 x 3-inch bars. Place them closely together on a heavily greased and floured baking sheet. Let stand overnight at room temperature.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. While hot, brush with confectioners glaze.
- To make glaze: beat together for 20 minutes. If more glaze is needed, make up several batches rather than doubling the recipe.
- NOTE: These need to ripen before eating. Pack in airtight containers and keep, if possible, for 3- 4 weeks. Stored this way, this will keep almost indefinitely.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.

- Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, lifting it with a spatula frequently and re-dusting the surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Cut out the cookies using a 2 1/4-inch heart-shaped (or similar) cutter.
- Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies for 9 to 12 minutes or until almost firm on top and slightly puffy.
- Let them stand on the foil lined baking sheets until completely cooled. Peel from the foil.
- Store airtight for 3 to 4 days. Freeze, airtight, for longer storage.

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!
