Zubereitung

1
Whisk the flour, ground almonds, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined and no spice streaks remain.
2
Heat the butter, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth; do not let it boil. Cool for 8 minutes until warm rather than hot.
3
Whisk the egg into the warm honey mixture, then pour it into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft, sticky dough forms, then mix in the chopped candied orange peel.
4
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 45 minutes, until firm enough to roll. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 175°C and line two baking sheets with parchment.
5
Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to 6 mm thick. Cut 24 rounds or stars with a 6 cm cutter, rerolling scraps only once, and arrange them 3 cm apart on the prepared sheets.

6
Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway, until the edges are set and lightly browned while the centers remain slightly soft. The egg is fully cooked when the cookies reach about 74°C in the center.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack and cool completely before storing or decorating.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

Honey keeps the cookies moist while almond meal adds tenderness and body. Candied orange brightens the dark spice blend, and resting the dough lets the flour hydrate for clean shaping and a chewy center.

Aufbewahren und Aufwärmen

So bewahrst du es auf

Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days. Place parchment between layers; they become pleasantly softer after the first day.

So wärmst du es auf

Do not reheat. If the cookies become too firm, place a small piece of apple in the sealed container for 6 to 8 hours, then remove it to prevent excess moisture.
