Preparation steps

1.

Combine lemon peel and flour in a food processor and chop finely. Mix eggs and sugar with a hand blender on high for about 7 minutes until frothy. In a separate, bowl, mix spices with flour, lemon peel and baking powder. Mix flour into egg mixture to form a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment paper, each about 0.5 cm (approximately 1/4 inch) thick and cut out Christmas shapes, such as a star shape, each about 5 cm (approximately 2  inches). In the middle of each shape, cut out a small circle and place gingerbread on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Decorate with almonds and coffee beans and allow to dry for about 12 hours.

2.

Preheat oven to 175°C (approximately 350°F). Loosen cookies from parchment paper if dried in place. Bake cookies on middle rack for about 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and string with ribbons for hanging.
