Andre's Basler Leckerli

$19.75 (25% Off) $26.50
Chock full of almonds, honey, spices & orange and lemon peels, Basler leckerli (translation: treats from Basel, Switzerland) are like a distant Swiss cousin to lebkuchen, so it's no wonder that we're quite obsessed with these addictive, deliciously chewy cookies.

We were delighted to discover that Andre's Confiserie Suisse (of Kansas City, MO) has been making Swiss leckerli cookies from a centuries-old recipe from Basel ever since the current proprietor's grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1955. Andre's leckerli is truly authentic, and as good as the best we've had in our extensive travels throughout Switzerland.

If you're a fan of Läckerli Huus in Switzerland, you will surely enjoy these Basler läckerli.

Baked with only the highest quality ingredients (they even candy their own peels!) and without preservatives.

Available in a 12oz box (with 24 pieces). 

Storage Notes from Andre's: The nature of the product is dependent on the weather so in the dry, winter months, the cookies are inevitably harder. Try this tip: store the leckerli in a jar with a slice of apple overnight. The leckerli will reabsorb moisture and become softer!

Honey, wheat flour, sugar, almonds, orange peel, lemon peel, Kirsch (a fruit brandy made from cherries), spices, baking soda, baker's ammonia.

Everything it should be!

This is what we love after dinner with a cup of tea. Not too sweet, with just the right hint of citrus peel. Great texture and aroma.

Uniquely delicious!

Was not familiar with them, but I gave them a try. So chewy & uniquely spiced that I ordered to more boxes. Delish w/tea! Or a quick treat.

Subtle Basler Leckerli

Although not as showy as Lebkuchen, the neat glazed rectangles of these gingery Swiss cookies are delicious. Until I found them again through Leckerlee, I thought these special treats a lost art of baking since I had only ever eaten the ones from a premium bakery in Aspen called Les Delices. I am thrilled each year to eat them alongside Leckerlee’s Lebkuchen.

Just like the ones my father sent from Switzerland !
