Basler Läckerli is a traditional Swiss gingerbread-like cookie that originated in Basel. It is made with a mixture of honey, almonds, candied peel, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The dough is rolled out and cut into rectangular shapes before being baked until golden brown. Basler Läckerli is often enjoyed during the Christmas season but can be found year-round in Swiss bakeries. It has a chewy texture and a rich, spiced flavor that is loved by many.
