GERMAN GINGERBREAD "LEBKUCHEN"
This is a traditional Christmas treat, soft & chewy with many wonderful spices. Use your favourite cookie cutters to create an army of little men, a collection of hearts or a herd of reindeer! "Lebkuchen" (gingerbread) is also known as "Honigkuchen" (honeycake) in some parts of Germany.

Steps:
- In a small pot gently heat the butter, sugar and honey and stir regularly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- While this is happening, mix together all the other ingredients in a big bowl.
- Then add the liquid honey/butter/sugar mix to this (you'll either need a spoon and strong arms, or a kitchen aid machine with a kneading hook attachment).
- Now leave the dough to rest/cool down for an hour at room temperature.
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees. (160 if fan-assisted)
- After an hour, roll out the dough to about 1cm thickness and cut out gingerbread men or any other shapes you prefer (if the dough is too sticky, place it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm-up, or knead it with your hands and add a bit more flour).
- Place the cookies on a tray lined with baking paper, and bake for approx. 10min. (they will still be slightly soft to the touch; this is what you are aiming for!)
- Once cool, feel free to frost them with icing, sugar pearls, or any other kinds of sweet decoration!

- Put the whole hazelnuts, almonds, candied lemon peels, and candied orange peels into your food processor and chop them up until the mixture is loose and coarsely grated. The texture doesn't have to be super finely ground - but there should be no overly large chunks of nut remaining.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar as well as the honey. Mix everything together with your electric mixer until you have a creamy mixture that has some bubbles. Set your electric mixer aside.
- Fold the gingerbread spice, cinnamon, and the content from your food processor into the egg mixture in small increments. This works best with a spatula or a large spoon. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
