Other forms: lebkuchens
Lebkuchen is a German Christmas cookie that's similar to gingerbread.
Traditionally, lebkuchen is made with honey and spices, shaped into a soft, round cookie, and glazed with sugar or chocolate. There are many variations on this basic style, including the addition of dried fruit and nuts, various shapes, and even a cake version. The origin of this German word is uncertain, though we know the kuchen part means "cake."
