Lebkuchen are traditional German cookies that are especially popular around the holiday season. Like gingerbread, Lebkuchen get much of their flavor from a combination of brown sugar and spices. But while most gingerbread cut out cookies are hard and crisp, Lebkuchen are soft, dense and almost cake-like.
Brush the glaze over the warm cookies. Decorate with blanched or slivered almonds, if desired. You can use homemade candied citrus peels, store-bought, or the chopped candied citron used in fruit cakes. Many traditional Lebkuchen are baked on large thin “communion” wafers or Back Oblaten.

The German method for storing Lebkuchen is to put an apple wedge in the container with the cookies. The apple’s moisture keeps the cookies soft. How long do Lebkuchen cookies stay good? Stored tightly covered with an apple wedge (see above), your homemade Lebkuchen will stay fresh and soft for as long as 3 weeks!
