1

Heat up the honey and sugar in a saucepan over a low heat. Mix in all the ingredients, up to and including the grated lemon peel, and then heat up the mixture. Add the apricotine or cognac, flour and baking powder and knead to form a smooth dough. Roll out the dough on floured baking paper to form a square 6-8 mm thick. Slide the baking paper onto a baking tray and leave to stand for approx. 1 hour.

Baking

Bake for 12-15 minutes in the middle of an oven preheated to 220°C. Remove the baking tray from the oven and immediately cut into Läckerli cookie sized pieces.

2

Heat up the water and the sugar until it is of a syrupy consistency. Brush the glazing onto the cookies while they are still warm and then allow to cool.

Suggestions

Roll out the dough while it is still warm since otherwise it is almost impossible to roll it out. The cookies can be stored in a cool and dry place for 3-4 weeks.
