  Totally scrumptious - very warming especially as could not wait for them to cool down coming out of the oven.

  These biscuits are very tasty! I cooked them for 15 minutes which was too long as they are not quite like the ones you buy! Will bake them for 12 next time.

  Very tasty, they smell wonderful. I also tried them with orange zest in place of the lemon for something different.

  Fab! Have made this for my sons gift to his teachers. Very keen to get the lebkuchen out of the house before I eat them all! They smell of Christmas!

  Just made these, not a success. The mixture wouldn't hold in a dough very well so wet my hands to get it to stick together, but did not like them at all when cooked. Oh well, plenty more recipes to try!

  These were fantastic! I was a bit dubious about forming the biscuits once I had made up the mixture, but after allowing it to cool completely (as it says in the recipe!) it firmed up and was very easy to handle. I found the mixture made 36 biscuits, but they still went quickly :-)

  Made these last night, 15mins is far too long, the bottoms were slightly burnt, 10-12mins is better I think. The dough needs to be cooled so that it sticks togther and can be handled. I used a melon baller to ball out roughly the same amount... I also managed to get more than 30 out of the batch. I think I got about 35-40, can't remember because they kept being eaten! I've not had a lebkuchen before so not quite sure what they're supposed to be like... abit like a slightly soft biscotti?!

  15 minutes prep time, but about 30 minutes cooling time at least!

  Made them without the bicarbonate of soda, ground cloves, grated nutmeg and black pepper as I didn't have them at home, and replaced honey with golden syrup. Result was a lovely cookie type thing with a cake-like texture inside. No idea what lebkuchen tastes like but these were absolutely delicious. I'll make them with the original ingredients next time, but I think I'll just rename this creation and keep it as a separate recipe! =)

  This is a great easy recipe, I add a little more ground cloves or all spice for a more authentic lebkuchen taste plus a scant teaspoon of almond oil. I make them a little thicker too. I also add grated lemon zest and lemon juice into the icing glaze mix. They taste great I have friends and colleagues who ask if I take orders for them. As I'm a beekeeper I add them to my jars of honey in Jute bags wrapped in cellophane for presents. They last a good two weeks, but only 10 mins if left out for the family to find.

  jamie_girl I noticed that too. I think it should say "Leave to dry out in a warm oven." This worked for me. If you have a fan oven definitely reduce cooking time and /or temp. I did mine for 12 mins at 150 and they were well cooked through and still soft.

  Honestly? Disappointed in these. They tasted bitter, there was almost no sweetness to them at all. The texture was more biscuit-like than what you'd expect from lebkuchen. I've made both this recipe and a recipe from The Pink Whisk. TPW was infinitely better, they were delicious. Interestingly, it seems that most other lebkuchen recipes (including TPW) use brown sugar. I think the absence of sugar and the hard texture let this recipe down.
