Gesine Bullock-Prado's German Spice Sandwich (Lebkuchen) Cookies

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.

Shawarma Cheesecake with Spiced Maple Pecan Topping

Nothing says fall in a kitchen like warm and comforting aromatic flavors, such as cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin. Our Shawarma Spice Blend provides just that, and more! Our team member, Kayla, was inspired by this blend and finding a way to use it in a sweet treat. Here is a Middle Eastern-inspired cheese cake with the blend infusing both the crust and a maple pecan sauce.
Cranberry Bundt Cake

Cranberry Bundt Cake

The best desserts for hosting, especially around the holidays, are ones that function as decor throughout the day as well. Of course you can choose to bake this in a loaf pan or traditional cake pan, but as a bundt it looks like a beautiful edible wreath! This glazed cake will remain moist at room temperature for at least 3 days so it’s an easy one to check off your to do list in advance. Tart fresh cranberries and zesty orange flavor balance the rich warm spices of SKORDO Masala Chai so nicely.
