  Made these for work after buying some in a shop and they were so liked I've been asked to make them for one of my colleagues birthdays as well as making a batch for the NYE party I'm going to. Only problem I had was I don't have a grinder so a couple of the biscuits were very clove-y.

  Tasted great - I've made them using coconut oil instead of butter and included 3 chunks of stem ginger in syrup chopped finely.

  Oh my gosh I am in LOVE with these biscuits!!! Don't bother with the icing, but melt some dark chocolate and cover the bases or tops. You don't need much! Perfectly spiced, great taste!!

  Made these tonight and they came out beautifully. Cut down honey to 140 and butter to 75g (for diabetic mum) and they are still so sweet. awesome recipe.

  I've made these a few times now - they are so tasty! It's worth sticking to the ingredient amounts carefully though, or it can get a bit sticky. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

  Ok, nothing special. I tried a thin circular cut out and the dented balls described in the recipe but both varieties came out quite chewy. Taste nice enough just wasn't fussed on the consistency.

  Absolutely delicious! I might even cover them in chocolate like the ones they sell in Lidl and Aldi. A perfect Christmas and winter treat.

  I needed a little bit more butter and honey as the mix was a bit crumbly, but taste great!

  I made these with Y1 children at school for a Christmas bake sale. They absolutely loved it and are now going to write their own recipe for literacy! It was super easy and the results were very tasty indeed. Thank you for the recipe.

  I love this recipe and recommend it to everyone. These Lebkuchen go down a storm at Christmas. There's a big difference depending on how long you cook them for. They often look pale and uncooked when actually they are. They are quite spongey when you take them out of the oven, as you leave them to cool then they firm up, so take care not to over cook them. I take them out when they start to brown just slightly on the top. It makes quite a difference with the overall softness when they are cool.

  Excellent! I made the first attempt last week. I overcooked it. 15 minutes are enough. Then I repeated it twice with double amount of ingredients. It is really delicious as the german Lebkuchen we used to buy. Even better, I would say. The recipes I have always ask for mix of Lebkuchen spices (I´m in Brazil, so no way to find this here!). This one gives you the possibility to make it at home! I would give rate 10 just for that! :-)

  Hi everybody,me and little daughter just made these, they are so simple and little one did every thing her self so she feels grown up. It's good to learn the children the smell of the spices and the names of said spices,this hopefully will stay with them for ever. Just got out of oven they look great,I like the idea if dipping half in chocolate so we will see how that turns out.
