Lebkuchen (German Gingerbread) Cookies (12 Cookies of Christmas - S1.E9)

Recipe: http://adventuresineverydaycooking.com/recipes/german-lebkuchen-cookies/ If you like anise, you may just love these German cookies! Thank you Terry (and Marianne) Pitts for suggesting I try this traditional recipe from Terry's grandmothers kitchen! It's a very earthy tasting cookie (think gingerbread... only grander) and even though I am not a fan of anise (or fennel) the cookie itself was pretty interesting! I'd eat it again if it was handed to me (and since I have about 7 dozen of them... they will be coming with me to our family Christmas party!). 🍪5/10 for flavor 🍪7/10 for look 🍪8/10 for recipe itself 🍪Difficulty level - easy Lebkuchen Cookies (From the kitchen of Grandma Grace Pitts) Ingredients: 1 cup dark corn syrup 1 cup molasses 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 4 ½ teaspoon vinegar 1 scant Tablespoon of ground ginger ½ Tablespoon ground cloves ½ Tablespoon anise seed ½ Tablespoon fennel seed ½ Tablespoon salt ½ Tablespoon cinnamon ½ pound (8oz) candied citron - ground ½ pound (8oz) ground walnuts 1 ½ level Tablespoon baking soda dissolved in ½ cup of warm water Enough flour to make a stiff dough (6-7 cups) Topping/glaze: 3 eggs Powdered sugar Sliced almonds Ingredients: Mix everything in a large bowl.
