Categories     Cookies and Bars

Time P5DT25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

¾ cup (250 g) clover honey
¾ cup (170 g) dark muscovado (or organic dark brown sugar)
4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
1 large egg (beaten)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cups (384 g) unbleached all-purpose flour (fluffed, spooned, and leveled, plus more for dusting)
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
oil for the bowl
1 cup (120 g) confectioner's sugar (sifted)
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cookies: In a 1½ quart saucepan, combine the honey and muscovado sugar. Over medium-high heat, stir gently until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture just begins to come to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Let cool until warm to touch. Whisk in the egg and lemon zest and juice.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  • On low speed, stir in the wet ingredients until a smooth, sticky dough forms. Laura's Note: This will be slack and loose, don't worry! Scrape the dough into a lightly oiled ceramic bowl and cover with a plate - you want the dough to be able to breathe.
  • Allow the dough to "ripen" at cool room temperature for 1 to 2 days - do not refrigerate. (The large amount of honey and sugar will keep bacteria at bay.)
  • Position racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Turn out the dough onto a well-floured work surface. Roll it out to a ¼-inch/6 mm thickness. Use a bench scraper or thin spatula to get under the dough and scoot it around in the flour occasionaly to prevent sticking. Cut shapes with 2-inch/5 cm cutters and place 1 inch/2½ cm apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sweep away any excess flour with a pastry brush.
  • Bake until fragrant and lightly browned, about 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking time. (Watch closely, as honey in the dough can make the edges catch and burn quickly.)
  • Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, egg white, lemon juice, and salt for a smooth, thin, runny glaze. (Add a few drops of lemon juice, as needed, to achieve this consistency).
  • Let the cookies firm up and cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Run an offset spatula under the cookies to gently looesn them from the parchment paper, leaving them on the sheets.
  • While still warm, brush the cookies with glaze and transfer to wire racks. Allow the cookies to cool and the glaze to dry completely.
  • The secret to a perfect lebkuchen texture is in the resting phase: place the cookies into airtight containers in layers, seperated by parchment or wax paper. Tuck a wedge of apple in the container before sealing. Store in a cool place for at least 3 days, or up to 2 weeks, to allow the cookies to ripen once more before serving.

GERMAN LEBKUCHEN COOKIES



German Lebkuchen Cookies image

Provided by LittleFamilyAdventure.com

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 egg
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup dark molasses
A handful of sliced almonds for decoration
1 slightly beaten egg white
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 to 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, and allspice.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg and the brown sugar together for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the honey and molasses to the egg/sugar mixture.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Beat until well blended. Your dough will be crumbled, but when pressed together will hold its shape.
  • Transfer dough to waxed fabric, plastic wrap, or a storage container with a lid. Wrap it up or cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350˚F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Remove your dough from the refrigerator and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll dough to a thickness of ¼" to ½". Use a 3" round cookie cutter to cut out circles or use a knife to cut 3" squares.
  • Place the cookies an inch apart on a cookie sheet and top with a few sliced almonds. There is no need to press them down as they will stick to the cookie as it rises during baking.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes. They will be done when you can touch the cookie top without leaving an imprint.
  • Remove cookies and immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  • While the cookies are cooling, combine the ingredients for the icing in a small bowl.
  • When the cookies are almost completely cooled, dip the top of each cookie in the icing and spread with the back of a knife. You can also use a pastry brush and brush it on. Place the glazed cookie back on the wire rack to dry.
  • After the icing has hardened, store in an airtight container.

HOLIDAY LEBKUCHEN (GERMAN SPICE COOKIES)



Holiday Lebkuchen (German Spice Cookies) image

Since my mother's parents came from Nuremberg and Munich, Germany, lebkuchen has been a holiday tradition in my family ever since I was little. We don't like the usual candied citrus peel, however, so I use apricots and dates instead. Great served with hot tea.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 8h55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups whole almonds
boiling water to cover
⅔ cup chopped dried apricots
8 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
4 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt

1 cup honey
¼ cup blackstrap molasses
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cover almonds with boiling water in a bowl. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes and drain. Rinse with cold water and drain again. Pat almonds dry and remove skin. Allow almonds to dry on paper towels.
  • Place half the almonds in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add apricots and dates; pulse until fruit is chopped. Reserve remaining 1 cup almonds.
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, cloves, cardamom, and salt in bowl. Beat eggs, brown sugar, honey, molasses, water, almond extract, orange zest, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add apricot mixture, blending until evenly distributed. Gradually stir in flour mixture on medium speed until dough comes together. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out cookies with a 2 1/2 to 3-inch diameter cookie cutter. Arrange cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Lightly press 3 almonds into each cookie with tips towards the center to create a star pattern.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cookies begin to brown, about 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Brush warm cookies with glaze and allow cookies to cool completely.

LEBKUCHEN (GERMAN CHRISTMAS HONEY COOKIES)



Lebkuchen (German Christmas Honey Cookies) image

This recipe is from an OLD betty crocker cookbook and is my absolute favorite Christmas cookie. My MIL sends a batch every year and is one of my favorite things of the season. DO NOT overbake these or they will become so hard that you might need to have dental work done (lol) If the cookies are too hard she suggests placing them in an airtight container with an apple slice. I did not include chilling time in the recipe.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
2 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup citron, chopped
1/3 cup nuts, chopped

  • Stir in brown sugar, egg, lemon juice and lemon rind.

  • Mix in the citron and chopped nuts, place the dough in the refrigerator and chill overnight.
  • Roll out a small amount of dough at a time to 1/4 inch thick, keeping the rest in the fridge. You can either cut out oblong shapes about 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" or just cut out circle shapes about 2" in diameter.
  • Place on a GREASED baking sheet about 1" apart.
  • Place 3 almonds on top of each cookie in a flower shape, and place in a 400 deg oven for 10-12 min or until no imprint remains when touched lightly.
  • While cookies bake, make glaze by boiling the water and sugar to 230 degrees - until it just barely begins to thread.
  • Remove from heat and stir in confectioners sugar.
  • Brush the hot glaze lightly over the cookies (if it gets grainy reheat slightly with a little water to thin again).
