👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, and butter. Heat gently until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, candied peels, spices, baking powder, salt, and kirsch (or water).
- 3
Pour the warm honey mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a stiff, sticky dough forms.
- 4
Divide the dough in half. Place one half onto a prepared baking sheet and use dampened fingers or a spatula to press it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the second half on the other baking sheet.
- 5
Dock the dough all over with a fork. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
- 6
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is firm.
- 7
While the cookies bake, prepare the glaze: whisk together egg white and powdered sugar until smooth. Add a tiny bit more egg white or powdered sugar if needed to reach a thick but spreadable consistency.
- 8
Remove the leckerli from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 9
Once cooled, spread the glaze evenly over the top of the cookie bars. Let the glaze set completely before cutting into bars.

Cut into desired bar shapes (traditionally about 1.5 x 3 inches). Store in an airtight container.
