How to make Lebkuchen Cookies over a 100’s year old German Recipe

Views: 5

If you don’t know of Lebkuchen cookie, these are not your typical cookies. It takes time to make them (Which was OK as my oldest daughter and I loved to spend time with her). She passed away in 2021 at the sprightly age of 103. This blog post was from 2013 on my old blog. As I move some items over here, I get a smile about many of them. Especially this one.

After growing up on Lebkuchen Cookies every year at Christmas, I could not wait to pass the tradition to my daughter Megan. We had a chance to cook these with my then 96-year-old Grandmother Marge. It amazes me to watch how hard the mixer was working to make these cookies. Then to think back to a simpler time, my Great Grandmother did this all by hand “with the help of my Great Grandfather”!
