Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 50 g Citation
  • 375 g Flour
  • 250 g Sugar
  • 125 g Butter or margarine
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 175 g dark syrup
  • 1 TEASPOON house natron
  • 1 Bag of gingerbread spice
  • 50 g crushed almonds
  • 7-10 Tbsp red cherries and whole almonds without skin
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Chop the candied lemon peel very finely. Put flour, sugar, fat in flakes, egg, syrup, baking soda, candied lemon peel, spice and almonds into a mixing bowl and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cover the dough and let it rest for about 12 hours. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 0.5 cm and cut out hearts (different sizes). Place the hearts on three baking trays lined with baking paper and decorate as desired with cherries and almonds.

  3. 3

    Use a small punched spout of the piping bag to cut a hole in each heart (for the ribbon). Bake the cookies in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 10-12 minutes in succession.

  4. 4

    Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on a cake rack. Makes about 50 pieces.
