Instructions

  1. Beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in the nuts, lemon peel and orange peel, orange and lemon peel, ginger and spices. Let the dough stand in a cool place for at least 24 hours.
  2. Shape the dough into small balls weighing 16-17 g and place on baking wafers so that one edge remains free. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven preheated to 200 ° for 12-15 minutes until light brown. The gingerbread should still be moist inside.
  3. Let the baked goods cool down and store them in tin cans. Put a piece of apple peel in the tin so that the pastry stays nice and crumbly.

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.
