Lebkuchen Recipe (ENGLISH)

Lebkuchen Recipe. How to make Christmas Lebkuchen. Full recipe at The Cake Mistress website here:

Lebkuchen are Christmas Cookies that originated in Germany. They are pretty close to gingerbread, being flavoured with spices, but are softer and puffier.
Lebkuchen are often cut into small shapes and have dark chocolate on the base and a thin crispy sugar shell on the outside.
But Lebkuchen can also rolled and cut into large hearts and decorated with royal icing.
If you visit Christmas markets around Europe there’s typically an entire stall dedicated to gingerbread and Lebkuchen.
For my own spin I cut my Lebkuchen into Christmas trees, which I coated with chocolate on top rather than underneath. I added festive-coloured sprinkles as the Christmas tree baubles.
This Lebkuchen cookie recipe is spiced with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. It’s very similar to gingerbread, except a little softer.
The only thing I couldn’t achieve was the puffy texture of the real authentic Lebkuchen cookies I tried in Strasbourg.
Possibly I rolled the dough way too thin, so maybe try thicker cookies if you want them softer. They still taste wonderful and make great gifts for Christmas.
