- 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.
Thank you so much for your continued support, for watching, subscribing and baking along - it means everything to us! From Jemma, Sally, Sam and all of us here at Crumbs & Doilies we wish you a very, very Merry Christmas!

Sally, you made this year something special for me, as I can only speak for myself. I do hope other viewers agree! Please CHIME IN, because Sam, Jemma, her baby and every event allowed us to meet you, and experience your personality... but most importantly your passion for baking and the arts which are a beautiful, vibrant combination. Thank you for growing on me quickly!
This flavor combination is nowhere on my radar given my upbringing, nor will I try it. BUT I always learn something, and thoroughly enjoy watching you! MORE than you can imagine.... you were made for this time, and beyond. All the best to you, and everyone at C&D. Happy Christmas, and Happy New Year! Thank Jemma for generously sharing the "stage". It was definitely meant to be.
Thank you so so much! Merry Christmas x
@@mindfulbaking You're always welcome! Merry Christmas again and again!!!!
Agreed 💯
You said it all nothing to add. Thank you so much 🙏and Merry Christmas
I love cupcake Jemma and your videos you have taught so many tricks with baking me and niece h age been baking a!l through lockdown and we share the treats with friends and family . It has helped me through this crazy time especially with my anxiety. Have a loive!y Christmas 😀💖
I love that Sally always seems like she's out of breath from rushing, but really it's just because she's so excited! ♥
loving the new bowls
Love your videos, they are very easy to follow.
Can you please tell me what brand those bowls are, I love them and was finding it very difficult to listen as I was loving the ease of mixing in those bowls...By the way HAPPY HOLIDAYS to one and all!!!
Can you please tell me where I can find these bowls? 😍
They're from a website called Sous Chef...you're welcome 😘
@@starlightabi thank you soo much
I made 8 different Lebkuchen recipes from the internet last year after coming home from the German Christmas markets and none of them were right, but YOUR recipe nailed it dead on. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 5,000 likes a subscribe for you. :)
love your mixing bowls
Merry Christmas to everyone at Crumbs and Doilies! Thank you so much Sally for stepping up to the plate this year, it's been amazing to have you!
Thank you x
Sally! I just want to hug you! Jemma is blessed to have such an incredible star on her team to run the show and be such a lovely little hoot to watch! You’ve got such a sweet spirit! Thank you, Jemma for allowing Sally to shine, teach us and bake for us! Merry Christmas to you all! Wishing you all a beautiful new year! Love from Texas!
The way she pronounces Lebkuchen is so adorable! :)
Greetings from Austria!
I know right! A for effort.
OH NO hahahah I even UA-camd how to say it cause I didn't want to get it wrong!
@@mindfulbaking You did pretty good! Just the emphasis was on the wrong syllable the first few times, but at the end you got it right!
@@mindfulbaking Don't worry, you did great! :) greetings from Germany
Came here to say just that - adorable, and I don't mean that in a condescending way. 😍
And let's face it, we don't expect anyone in English-speaking countries to nail that horrible "ch" sound. It's much nicer when not pronounced "correctly". 😄
Great Idea with the Stars 👍I wish everyone wonderfull Christmas and very mutch Health 🤗
Sally Dells you’re making us cry! We’ve loved seeing you and the crew so much! What a strange year indeed, stay well, and happy holidays to you all at the shop 🎄❄️🥃🎉
Dear Sally, Sam & Jemma you guys are hidden gems! Despite lockdown, pandemic and all sorts of craziness around, you guys never missed a single thursday! U made our thursdays merrier! And the recipes are always worth the wait! Be it stollen, cupcakes, carrot cake, mud cake etc. ( i named my favs) We truly truly love ya'll. Sending Lots of love your way . And heres wishing Merry Merrier Merriest Christmas to ya'll.❤ ( waiting for NYE especially for ferrero rocher cake!😉)
Woooooooow👏👏👏🎀
Happy happy christmas to you! x
We used to make this every year in school and I never wrote down the recipe!! This came at the perfect time ❤️❤️ Happy Holidays everyone 🎄
You too!
When Sally got emotional at the end I felt that. ☹️
I’m so glad everyone has been so welcoming to you on this channel! I love it when you post and we can bake with you ❤️
Just about to make my Lebkuchen! These look delicious, but I am definitely a purist lol it takes us 3 days to make them (absolutely rest the dough for at least 24 hrs!) Traditionally they are completely gluten-free, dairy free, have no cocoa powder, filled with walnuts, candied orange and lemon, cooked on Oblaten wafers and coated with chocolate or sugar glaze. If u want true Lebkuchen that's the way to go! 😊 Will still try this version sometime tho since it is much easier!
Any chance if one of your recipes 🤭sounds lovely xx
@@MrBiddy1975 thanks! Check out the blog post on Lebkuchen by The Daring Gourmet. That's basically the recipe I go off of, I just add to it the chopped walnuts and zest of 1 orange. Hope that helps! 😊
Your recipe sounds a lot like "Elisenlebkuchen". Which is a traditional german recipe as well. But different. 🙂
I wouldn't add the cocoa either as it overwhelms the spices' flavours (and also because my dog begs for lebkuchen and so I need to be able to let him have his secret treats without making him ill!).
She is just so pure and you can tell how much she enjoys making videos for us! Keep going Sally you are absolutely amazing and we love you! I hope when Jemma comes back you are regular on the channel.
Sally, you're a sweetie! Thank you for being a delicious bright spot in a crazy, sometimes dark year!
Love from India 💕
It has been such a joy watching Sally and the gang take over for Jemma. Sally's honest heart is one of the most beautiful things to experience. May you all have a blessed Christmas and may we see doors open and faces smiling in 2021.
I NEED those mixing bowls in my life!!
Sally, that you so much for all the baking you have done this year. It’s really helped through lockdown, and now you are doing treats from other countries, which is special to I’m sure not just me (I’m half German). Your smile is exactly what I’ve needed to get me awake in the mornings, and I love your enthusiasm and how you always seen to be happy. I hope everyone reading this has an amazing time over Christmas; we all deserve it after 2020. I can’t wait to see what you bake in the New Year, Merry Christmas ❤️
Thank you so so much, this mans HEAPS to me xxx Merry Christmas
Thank you, Sally, for being such a ray of sunshine every week (or twice a week) during this tough year. Wishing you every happiness this season from across the Pond xx
Over the decades, my family has acquired various "Lebkuchen" recipes, with textures ranging from biscuit to cookie and all the way to tray bake cake. So many different ways to "Lebkuchen" - looking forward to adding this one to our repertoire. Thanks, Sally, and happy holidays!
My husband and I loved visiting the German Christmas Markets. There was this wonderful little town right outside Frankfurt that was so beautiful.
Always look forward to a new recipe! Can’t wait to try this out - thank you Sally! Hope you and everyone at Crumbs and Doilies have a lovely Christmas ✨✨
Merry Christmas C&D crew! Thanks for “being there” for us all year long with deliciousness!
Great recipe as always! Thank you Sally, Jemma and the C&D team for all your hard work on these recipes. It's been a pleasure watching you and baking these treats. Happy Christmas to you all!
Thank you to the entire C&D team for making this year a lot less frustrating. Your videos and kits were just the thing everyone needed. I am over in the States, but a die hard C&D fan. So thankful to have met Jemma when I visited a few years back.
Lol everyone at Crumbs & Doilies is amazing!
Sally, thank you for being a bouncy, twinkly ball of creativity in a dark time. You are wonderful. Your one handed egg cracking is the coolest baking skill I've ever seen.
Happy Christmas to Team C&D and to anyone else reading this. As I've said in my Christmas cards this year: hope you're staying positive and testing negative in the plague times.
Those mixing bowls though 🤤🤩🤩
this is such a fond christmas treat for me - my oma used to feed us them on christmas eve, when she celebrates christmas, along with stollen and other christmas goodies. we always called them 'liebenkuchen' though, but i think that was her play on words because they were cakes, with love.
Those beautiful cakey cookies are sure not to come out *crumby!*
Aww Sally have a lovely Christmas and relax after all your hard work xxx
And Dane sam and Jemma of course as well as all the c and d team
Sally.. you made me cry in the end. I love you
To everyone at C&D (in front of the camera and behind) thank you for making these videos every👏 single👏 week👏 in what has been the hardest time in many of our lives. I hope this channel means that your business will survive and prosper in 2021. Christmas has been 'cancelled' for those of us in tier 4 lockdown but these recipes will help me keep a little bit of joy in my household. Merry Xmas 🎄🎄🎅🤶
WE LOVE YOU CRUMBS AND DOLLIES GANG!! WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳

Those cookies look about as Christmassy as you can get. Thank you Sally, Sam, and the whole fantastic gang there for keeping us company and busy during this very strange year.

I can’t wait to try these and for another year of videos!
I looooove these new mixing bowls! Need them for my own kitchen 🧡
Thank you for the yummy recipes! Merry Christmas to you all!
On my way to make Lebkuchen. I melt the syrup, sugar and butter on the stove and dissolve the cocoa and spices in it when it has cooled a little. I use bicarbonate of soda with vinegar as raising agent and add it before I add the flour. Also the egg goes in before the flour. In the fridge for about 2 hours. Bake at 180 for 8 minutes. Let cool and decorate with royal icing.
While I have missed Jemma, you Sally have done an amazing job. I hope to see both of you in the new yr!!!
Amazing
These look so tasty. Thank you for some amazing recipes this year and a very merry christmas to all at Crumbs & Doilies from the Bake-A-Medic
Happy and blessed Holidays!! And thanks for all the great recipes!! You guys are awesome! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🙏🏾🥰🎄🥂

Sitting on my sofa, eating German Lebkuchen while watching Sally baking German Lebkuchen. Feels very christmasy.

Can’t wait to try this . Happy holidays to the cupcake Jemma family .
Hello there! I’m watching this amazing recipe from Mexico 🇲🇽 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Great recipe, I am surely gonna try. Merry Xmas Jemma & Team !
I grew up with lebkuchen being made by my grandmother and her sisters. This recipe is very close to the recipe that has been handed down in my family. Over the years I have experimented with the type of sugar I use and dark brown sugar makes such a difference in the flavor! Since I enjoy the flavor of molasses, I'm going to look for muscavado sugar. My adult kids recently mentioned they were hungry for some lebkuchen and my hubby and I plan on surprising them with some on Christmas. Another great addition to the lebkuchen batter is candied fruit. Over the years, I've tweaked my recipe, but I never thought to add ginger, cinnamon, and such to the actual batter. When they were in a hurry, my grandmother and her sisters would just sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on the dropped cookies before baking. Thanks for the ideas and have a wonderful Christmas!
Sally! you are such a lovely person! Merry Christmas for you too!!
Dear Sally. You are such a sweetheart - thank you for sharing all the amazing recipes and your beautiful genuine heart!!
Merry Christmas to you , Jemma and the whole team~ I have been “feeding” my Christmas cake for the past month and CANNOT wait to try it here tomorrow~ in Brisbane * Australia ~ much ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And the Merriest possible Christmas to all at Crumbs & Dolies too!
Thank you for being there throughout everything - you are twinkling stars in what has been a very dark night!
As we say in Sweden God Jul!
wow, The cookies are so beautiful
I love you, Sally! 💗💗💗💗💗 Merry Christmas, Crumbs and Doilies! Love from Southeast Asia. 💕
Love the bowls!
Thank you for the recipe. It turned out well and it tastes very good.
ahhh, Merry Christmas Jemma, Sally Sam, and the team at Cand D , loved every recipe, have a beautiful Christmas time x x x xx x
Thank you Sally, happy christmas ❤️🎄
Bravo Sally this recipe sounds perfect for the festive season. What would we have done without your refreshing cheerful approach to baking in lockdown? I love our Thursday evening baking dates (obvs - you’re only teaching me) but have really appreciated the weekly videos even more in recent months. Wishing you and all the C&D team a very merry Christmas and a safe and healthy 2021.
All the very best compliments of the season, it's helped many of us get through 2020. Looking forward to the delights you and the gang will share with us next year in 2021! Be safe, stay well and have fun!
I've literally just made this now! I use clementine zest in the cookie and juice in the icing (as that was what I had in) and it worked so well!
