Gesine Bullock-Prado's German Spice Sandwich (Lebkuchen) Cookies
"Lebkuchen is often referred to in the English-speaking world as “German gingerbread.” It’s not. Ginger is usually the spice least called for in a Lebkuchen Gewürz (spice blend) and traditionally not at all. In fact, in my family cookbook, from 1899, Die Österreichische Küche, (thank you, Tante Erika for handing it down to me), Nürnberger Lebkuchen (which are the official Lebkuchen) call for cinnamon, cloves, a bit of nutmeg, a touch of cardamom, some orange zest, and nary a lick of ginger. It’s a spice-based confection, but it’s not a gingerbread.
It is delicious, and we still get a gorgeous embossed tin packed with them from my family’s hometown, Nürnberg, every Christmas from my Tante Christel. Because I love the spice blend so well but prefer a crispy cookie over the cake-like texture of the original, I created this version to satisfy my “non-gingerbread gingerbread” cravings but with the satisfying crispness of an all-American sandwich cookie."
This cookie captures those beloved flavors in crisp sandwich form, made even easier with my SKORDO Lebkuchen Blend, which perfectly mirrors the traditional spice proportions.
