Title: Lebkuchen
Keywords: Mom's, Cookies/spice
 
Servings: 6 dozen
 
INGREDIENTS:
        1       cup     honey
        1/4     cup     dark molasses
        1       Tbsp    cinnamon
        1/4     tsp     nutmeg
        1 1/2   tsp     cloves
        2       Tbsp    finely chopped candied orange peel
        2       Tbsp    finely chopped candied citron
        1       cup     chopped blanched almonds
        1       cup     firmly packed brown sugar
        1       tsp     grated lemon peel
        1 1/2   tsp     grated orange peel
        1/2     tsp     baking soda
        2       tsp     hot water
        1               egg, beaten
        4 1/2   cup     sifted flour
 
DIRECTIONS:
Mix honey, molasses, spices, fruits and almonds together. Stir the soda into
the boiling water and add to the fruit mixture along with the egg. Next mix
in the flour. This will form a very stiff dough and should be blended
thoroughly. Set in refrigerator overnight to ripen. The next day roll
mixture out to about 1/2" thickness, cut into bars about 1/2" by 3" and
place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350-F for about 15 minutes. Place on wire
rack to cool and while still warm brush with a little thin icing made by
moistening confectioners' sugar with lemon or orange juice. When cool, store
in a tightly closed container.

1 qt dark molasses
1 lb white sugar
1 lb brown sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup hot water

12 cup flour
 
Chop hickory nuts. Mix baking soda in water. Combine all ingredients except
flour in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Gradually add flour until
mixture is stiff. The amount of flour is approximate. Use a strong mixing
utensil as dough is extremely stiff. Cover dough and let stand at room
temperature for 24 hours. Roll dough into sheets 1/4 inch thick. Cut into
squares 2 x 2 inches. Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet. Cookies
will be hard until frosted with a simple powder sugar frosting. They will
become soft by the next day.
