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!

GINGERBREAD, BASELER (BASLER LECKERLI)
Leckerli is the Swiss-German word for gingerbread, finding its root in the adjective lecker, meaning delicious, which is also where the German noun Leckerei, delicacy or choice morsel, comes from. Basel is a beautiful old city in the German-speaking area of Switzerland, and Basler Leckerli have a long tradition there....

Steps:
- 1. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- 2. Whisk flour, baking soda, spices, and salt together in a small bowl.
- 3. Combine honey and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, swirling pan a few times to combine mixture. Boil for 2 minutes; make sure sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
- 4. Whisk in Kirschwasser (be careful, as mixture may bubble up). Stir in candied peels and almonds, then stir in flour mixture. Scrape into baking pan, spreading batter evenly. Allow to sit for 1 hour; the texture and flavor improve with time.
- 5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- 6. Place pan on rack to cool. Cut into 35 bars (5 x 7) before glazing, but leave in pan.
- 7. Meanwhile, whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Spread in a thin, even layer over cooled bars.
- 8. Rescore bars while glaze is warm; glaze will crack if you try to cut it after cooling.
- 9. Cookie Tip: To fancy these up, slice candied cherry halves and use these and bits of candied fruit or nuts to make designs on each bar. You can make somewhat abstract flower shapes or just create a little cluster of candied fruit to add color in a pretty pattern.
- 10. This spicy bar cookie is made in one saucepan and starts with boiling honey. This unusual technique gives it a very chewy texture, so do not expect a soft, cakey bar. These have substance and lots of flavor from the Kirschwasser (clear cherry brandy), candied citrus peel, honey, almonds, and spices. These improve in texture and flavor after a few days, so plan ahead.
- 11. LIFESPAN Up to 6 days at room temperature in airtight container, but at their best after 3 or 4 days.
