Instructions

  1. Mix all dry ingredients well, if necessary chop the lemon peel and orange peel again beforehand. Then add the eggs and honey and knead together until you have a large lump of dough.
  2. Dust the base with a little flour and roll out the dough to about 4 mm thick. Use different shapes to cut out and then place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  3. Bake in the oven at 160 ° C (180 ° C top / bottom heat) for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Then let it cool down and cover with icing or chocolate icing, if you like. The frosting can be spiced up by using lemon juice or adding a little cinnamon.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
