Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy lecitine or 2 tablespoons flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon ground or finely grated ginger
  • 3 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground sweet anise

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat together honey, soy lecitine, and the lemon and orange peel. If you use flaxseed instead of soy lecitine, soak them in a little bit of water for 2 hours and blend well.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. The dough will be stiff and sticky. If needed, add a little bit of water to be able to form the dough.
  • Cover the bowl and put into the fridge overnight.
  • The next day: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly grease a cooking sheet.
  • On a floured surface, roll the dough open and cut out cookies in your preferred shape and transfer to the sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The cookies will be still soft and will harden when cooling down.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container with a slice of apple (for its softening powers). If you make the lebkuchen 2 to 3 days ahead of time, they'll taste even better and be softer. They'll last for several weeks.
