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”!
This recipe goes back over 100 years in our family – and is a tradition at Christmas at our house. This is not a long recipe but it is one that is near and dear to our harts. Thank you for stopping buy and check out some of our house projects or recipes on our site.
