'''[[Template:Geschützte Geographische AngabeDe|G.g.A.]] Aachener Printen''' are typical Christmas [[biscuit|biscuits]]. The following ingredients are used for their production: [[molasses]], water, [[rum]], [[potassium]] carbonate, a small stick of [[crystallised]] [[sugar]], [[sugar]], [[candied peel|candied orange]], and several [[spices]] amongst which [[cinnamon]], [[cloves]], [[anise]], and [[coriander]], as well as [[flour]].

'''Production Method'''

The processing starts with the addition of syrup to water, which is heated and mixed. After cooling, the [[potassium]] carbonate is melted in the [[rum]] and the stick of [[crystallised]] [[sugar]] is crumbled. Everything is mixed and [[knead|kneaded]] once more. Successively, the [[dough]] obtained is wrapped in plastic and left to rest in a cool place. It is then rolled out and cut into small rectangles. Then follows the [[baking]], after which the pieces obtained are left to cool off. Finally, they are covered with [[icing]], [[chocolate]] or [[almonds]].

'''History'''

The [[Template:Geschützte Geographische AngabeDe|G.g.A.]] Aachener Printen boasts old origins.

The traditional recipe of this sweet was brought to Aachen in the 15th century by the immigrant copper artisans. Originally, the sweets were produced with [[honey]]. When Napoleon imposed an embargo to the importation of products from the USA, a big [[honey]] exporter, it was substituted by syrup obtained from [[sugar beet]].

'''Gastronomy'''

The [[Template:Geschützte Geographische AngabeDe|G.g.A.]] Aachener Printen are preserved in cans at room temperature. They are consumed just like normal [[biscuit|biscuits]], but an excellent way of fully enjoying their fragrance is to have them with a glass of [[mulled wine|Glühwein]], a very good warm [[wine]], very similar to [[mulled wine]].
