These spiced cookie bars are an essential part of a German Christmas. They are an excellent make-ahead sweet; in fact, they get more tender and flavorful the longer they sit.Slideshow:More Cookie Recipes

can you use another candied fruit besides the citron?
The dough is supposed to rest overnight before spreading on cookie sheet, and then rested again for several hours before baking so that all the flavors can develop properly. And yes, it's a SWISS recipe, not from Germany.
This looks delicious. I remember my aunt made something like this in the past, not sure if it's the same recipe she uses as this.
What exactly are these. Are they thick cookies, are they more like lemon bars, or are they like brownies?
I have been looking for this recipe for years. I'm delighted to have found it! Thank you!
Sorry but you have errors in your post. This is a SWISS food from BASEL, very much considered theirs. Hence the true name Baseler Läckerli. Please make the corrections.
