The Basler Leckerli is a traditional hard spice biscuit originating from Basel, Switzerland. It is made of honey, almonds, candied peel, and Kirsch. "Lecker" means "delicious" in German. The name "Laeckerli" emerges only around 1720, however the popular biscuit was offered already much earlier in good "Bürgerhaeusern" during Advent time. Basler Leckerli were originally created by local spice merchants over 700 years ago and are available year-round. This cookie keeps well for weeks.
300g/10.5oz. bag

These are one of my all time favorites. Have reviewed many recipes to try to make myself and have concluded they are worth every penny to buy the authentic from Basel. Simply delicious! Thank you for making them affordable available.

My aunt had always given me lackerli cookies at Christmas. I didn’t remember what they were called, so I was delighted when I found them on this site. They were every bit as delicious as I remembered them. I had to restrain myself to buy just three bags of them! They are wonderful!!!

So good! Now if only I could find the hazelnut Bern lackerli, I'm on a hunt. These are the best tasting, just like I remember when we used to get tins of them from my grandparents!!

Little ginger/orange pastry gems. Just enough sweetness to satisfy a craving. Great alone, or with tea or coffee. Discovered these whilst in Switzerland in December 2016. Was thrilled to be able to purchase them here at home in Michigan. Shipping is a bit steep, but delivery is incredibly fast, and is worth it for such a wonderful treat

I tried these little ginger-orange “jewels” in Europe. Terrific to be able to find this authentic product for purchase in the U.S.
