How To make Lebkuchen Or German Honey Cakes
1 c Honey
2 ts Cinnamon
1 c Brown sugar
1 ts Ground cloves
1 Egg
2 ts Allspice
1 tb Lemon juice
6 tb Finely chopped candied citro
3 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 1/2 ts Nutmeg
Clear glaze: 1 c Powdered sugar plus 2 tb
-water Put the honey and the sugar in a mixing bowl, and beat until blended. Add the egg and beat very well. Stir in the lemon juice. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and allspice, and sift them together onto a piece of waxed paper. Add to the honey mixture and beat well. Stir in the citron. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (The dough will be much easier to roll out if it is well chilled.) Preheat thje oven to 350 degrees, and grease some cookie sheets. Place 1/2 of the dough on a lightly floured surface (keep the other half chilled). Roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4" thick, sprinkling flour as necessary to keep it from sticking. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into rectangles about 1-1/2 x 2-1/2-inches. Place about 1" apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Roll out the other half while you are baking the first batch of cookies. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly colored. Remove from the oven, and gently lift the cookies off the sheets, and onto wire racks to cool While the cookies are still warm, brush with a Basic Clear Glaze, if you wish. Store airtight for at least several days, so the cookies can mellow. Basic Clear Glaze: Brush glaze on cookies as soon as they come from the oven to give them a clear, shiny tp, and to add a little sweetness. The glaze will harden as it dries, and the cookies cool. Combine the sugar and water and mix well, to dissolve any lumps,and to make a smooth runny glaze. Brush or spoon on cookies while they are still warm. Helen Jolly. -----

Easy recipe for a cookie sheet full of Lebkuchen!
In the 13th century, the honey cake from pre-Christian times became the gingerbread in Germany. In the monasteries during Lent, one would eat peppered gingerbread with strong beer. At that time pepper was the collective term for all spices, whose stomach-friendly effect was well known in monastery kitchens: the spices promoted healthy digestion and alleviated the feeling of fullness!

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.
