  • cook time 30 min
  • total time 12h

Ingredients

40 cookies

Instructions

    • 150 g wheat flour
    • 350 g rye flour
    • 100 g almonds (ground)
    • 50 g hazelnuts
    • 3 tsps cinnamon
    • 1 tsp clove powder
    • ½ tsp cardamom (ground)
    • 10 g baking soda

    Put the wheat flour and rye flour in a large bowl. Also add the almonds, hazelnuts, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and baking soda.

    • 50 g butter
    • 100 g sugar
    • 100 g honey
    • 1 lemon

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the sugar and honey and continue to melt. In the meantime, grate the zest of the lemon, squeeze out the juice and add to the sugar mixture. Heat the whole thing not too hot, just until all the ingredients are homogeneously mixed.

    • 2 eggs
    • 1 pinch of salt

    Then stir the eggs into the sugar mixture and add to the flour together with a little salt. Knead vigorously. Cover the dough and leave it to rest in the fridge for about 12 hours.

    • Roll out the dough and cut it out. Bake in the oven at 180° C top/bottom heat for 6 minutes.

    Tips

    • If the dough is too firm, simply stir in another egg or some melted butter.

    • It is best to prepare the dough the day before so that it can rest long enough.

    • The finished gingerbread can be covered with sugar or chocolate icing as desired.

    Happy cooking and Mahlzeit!
