INSTRUCTIONS
Here is more recipes of Lebkuchen: from the Visions of Sugarplums
Heat honey until thin and slightly darkened in color. Stir in sugar until
dissolved. Cool and beat in eggs, nuts, fruit and spices. stir in coffee
for cookies with dark richer flavor or milk if you prefer milder
golden-color cookies. sift flour with baking powder and stir gradually into
mixture. Blend thoroughly. (dough can be baked now or you can allow it to
age by place for 1 day to 1 week.) Spread dough about 1/2 inch thick on a
lightly buttered and floured baking sheet. Bake in preheated 400 oven for
12 to 15 min., or until a deep golden brown. If you are using the glaze or
stickers, add immediately, but cool cookies before covering with icing. Cut
into rectangles when cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
