makes about 45 gingerbread cookies

For the batter, beat the eggs and sugar with a hand mixer fitted with the whisk on high speed for 2 minutes until frothy. Gradually stir in the nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and flavorings. Stir in the ground and chopped nuts and the candied lemon peel. Spread the batter finger-thickly onto the wafers (careful: the batter will spread during baking!) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes. Transfer the gingerbread, still on the baking paper, to a wire rack and allow to cool. If desired, cover with chocolate coating or powdered sugar icing.
