Lebkuchen are traditional German Christmas cookies. Whether you make traditional circles or cut into stars and hearts, friends and family will love these Christmas biscuits. 

You can decorate them in so many ways as well. My favourites are chocolate covered, closely followed by a thin icing - but if you like thick icing don't let me stop you!
