These Swiss Lebkuchen are a take on an early version of the gingerbread cookie. They are made with hazelnut and almond meal, along with honey, sugar, and cinnamon, plus some citrus and candied fruit.
There are many variations of Lebkuchen, both Swiss and German. This one was adapted by Rose Levy Beranbaum in her newest book, The Cookie Bible from a bakery, Confiserie Eichenberger, in Bern, Switzerland.
