What Are Lebkuchen? Lebkuchen are honey-sweetened German cookies that are commonly served during the Christmas season. They're similar to gingerbread cookies, but they are usually glazed and feature nuts and candied fruits. · Sugars: You'll need brown sugar for the cookies and confectioners' sugar for the glaze.
Scoop some of the mixture onto the Backoblaten, smoothing the top and leaving just a tiny bit of an edge around the rim. Place them on a lined cookies sheet. In an oven preheated to 300 degrees F, bake the Lebkuchen on the middle rack for 25-28 minutes. Remove and let cool completely. Once the Lebkuchen have cooled, make the glaze.
