❤️ Lebkuchen Cookies ~ German Gingerbread made just like Oma
These German gingerbread cookies, or Lebkuchen, are such a traditional cookie to have for Christmas. They're very easy to make, there's no reason to buy them. The usual ingredients for these are not usually easily available outside of Germany. Yes, one can buy Lebkuchen spice, etc., online, but my recipe below uses regular ingredients available in the USA.

How to make traditional Lebkuchen
These Lebkuchen are very different to normal ginger bread. They contain ginger but no honey or flour. They are baked on a wafer. I used fresh group spices, as these give more flavor and so come closer to the original. The content of these Lebkuchen are eggs, sugar, a nut mixture and spices.
They need to beaked at a hot temperature for a short time, just 10-15 minutes and they need to be still soft in the center. For the Recipe see my blog
What's Lebkuchen you ask? Lebkuchen are a honey sweetened German Cookie packed with Christmas Spices, Nuts and Citrus Zests. They are Cookies, BUT with a soft cakey centre that actually improves over time so best to bake a day ahead! Lebkuchen are really quick to make, and easy too, so a fab recipe to be baking before the big day arrives. If you don't have all the spices listed, don't worry! Just go with what you have.
