Notes

  • If making lebkuchen hearts or stars, roll small pieces of dough at a time to around 1-inch thick. Do not try to roll the whole batch of dough out! Because the dough is so sticky, you'll need to do this on a heavily floured surface, and use a floured rolling pin and floured cutter. Do not add extra flour to the dough itself as this will spoil the soft, cakey texture.
  • Coat the lebkuchen in dark chocolate if you prefer a not-so-sweet cookie.
