Lebkuchen

Lebkuchen is a traditional German gingerbread-like cookie, often enjoyed during Christmas. It’s made from a mixture of honey, spices such as cinnamon and cloves, nuts, and flour, resulting in a moist, flavorful treat. Some varieties are glazed or covered with chocolate, and they can be adorned with icing or decorative toppings. Lebkuchen has a rich history dating back centuries and varies regionally in ingredients and style. Its warm, spicy aroma and tender texture make it a beloved seasonal delicacy, combining the comforting flavors of spices and sweetness in a festive confection.
