Zimtsterne
_______________________________________________________________ Braune Lebkuchen
This is one of my favorite cookies. Not only does this cookie taste wonderful with all the spices but it also in many cases gets better with age.
Lebkuchen has many styles and varieties, too many to cover in one newsletter.

It is probably where our gingerbread comes from.
Here is one of my favorite that my grandmother did. The interesting thing about this recipe is that it gets better with age. All the spices "flower" and develop in the cookie and seem to increase the flavor much like a wine gets better with age. Like many German christmas cookies they are best with
coffee or tea where you can dunk them. |
