Elisen Lebkuchen

Ingredients:

500 g

Light Brown Sugar

Finely chop the almonds.

The candied lemon comes diced but needs to be chopped smaller. Spraying your chopping knife with Pam will make this much easier.

Beat together the eggs, sugar, baking powder, soda and spices.

Stir in the candied lemon, almonds and lemon.

Spread dough on 70 mm Oblaten the thickness of your finger.       

Decorate with an almond.

Let rest overnight.

Bake at 300°F for about 30 minutes.

After the cookies have cooled brush with a lemon glaze.

Tip: If the batter is too thin, add more ground almonds and equal amounts of baking powder and baking soda.

Variation: Can be made in 9x13 cake pan and cut into bars then glazed. Baking time is slightly increased. Or 50mm Oblaten can be used to make smaller cookies, then the baking time would be somewhat decreased.
