How suisse it is! These festive spiced holiday cookies are handmade with honey, almonds, orange, and lemon peel, using a centuries-old recipe from Switzerland. Lecker is German for “delicious” and the suffix -li is the Swiss term for “little” — meaning there couldn’t be a more on-the-nose name for these delectably chewy bites! And the red and white packaging (an homage to the Swiss art of paper cutting) positively screams Christmas. Samichlaus will go crazy for these classic cookies.
Tip of the Tongue:
Leckerli are meant to be more chewy than crisp. So you’ll want to keep the interior bag sealed or store them in an airtight container, in order to preserve their traditional texture.
