Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts work well)
- 1 cup dark chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is gonna be the base for all that Lebkuchen goodness!
- In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. This blend of spices is where the magic begins!
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together honey and brown sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg. Combine your wet and dry ingredients together until they form a dough.
- Fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out, as they will spread out while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just golden. Let those cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- While they’re cooling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Once the cookies are cool, dip the top half of each Lebkuchen into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped cookies back onto the parchment paper and let them set until the chocolate hardens.
And there you have it! You’ve got yourself a plate full of Chocolate Dipped Lebkuchen that’s just begging to be devoured. Whether you’re sharing them with loved ones or keeping them all to yourself, these cookies are sure to make your day a little sweeter. Enjoy every bite!
