While it falls into the realm of baked goods infused with spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, sweetened with honey, molasses, or sugar, lebkuchen sets itself apart. Unlike the crispy gingerbread man cookie, lebkuchen boasts a soft, dense texture, often enriched with nuts, creating a delightful hybrid between a cake and a cookie.
INGREDIENTS:
???? 1 large egg
???? 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
???? ½ cup (dark muscovado) brown sugar
???? ⅓ cup clover honey

The name translates to “pepper nut,” which sounds odd when you consider the original recipe didn’t call for pepper or nuts, but that aside, these are ridiculously good, surprisingly easy, and I think they are the best Christmas cookie ever. Enjoy!

GINGERBREAD COOKIES | gingerbread man recipe
Hello everyone! This is my favorite gingerbread recipe. The cookies are soft and very aromatic. Keeps soft for a long time when stored in a closed container.
INGREDIENTS:
150g honey
100g granulated sugar
1tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves (optional)
2 tsp baking soda
130g unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 egg
400-450g flour
COOKING METHOD:
1. Put honey, sugar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat and add baking soda, stir (the mixture will foam and increase).
3. Add butter gradually and stir. Add egg and stir.
4. Add sifted flour and knead the dough (I took a hand mixer with hook attachments). Form a ball.
5. Roll out the dough 5mm thick between two sheets of parchment or silicone mats. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-1 an hour.
6. Cut out the cookies and transfer them to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
7. Bake at 350F/175C for 10 minutes.
