About Brunsli

Swissmilk’s classic brunsli combine ground almonds, dark chocolate and cocoa in a small cut-out biscuit. The Swiss Christmas sweet has a particularly strong association with Basel, as documented by Switzerland’s culinary heritage record.

Sugar, cinnamon, salt and egg whites bring the dough together, with kirsch offered for fragrance. The dough is chilled, rolled on sugar and cut into shapes before the pieces dry.

A brief bake leaves the biscuits soft and moist inside. They cool on the baking tray before being carefully lifted away, preserving their shaped outlines and dark surfaces.
