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.
