Sweet & Salzig Honey Lebkuchen (Swiss Lackerli)
- by Sweet and Salzig
- United States
Inspired by traditional German sweets, Sweet & Salzig handcrafts their Honey Lebkuchen in Brooklyn according to a classic recipe. These flaky, buttery cookies are infused with almond and brandy, giving them a rich nuttiness that’s accented by bright, warm citrus and spice - cinnamon, star anise, lemon and orange peel. Spice up your next holiday party by serving these with Mitica Moka Pecans and a handful of Murray’s Marcona Almonds.
"I love this cookie because it's a mystery with every bite; soft yet crunchy, sweet but spicy. I suggest making a dessert tray and offering this cookie as the centerpiece alongside bowls of Rustic Bakery Mini Ginger Babies and Egg Nog Cookies. Hot chocolate with whipped cream optional."
