From his cookbook, The Hachland Hill Cookbook (Blue Hills Press, 2022) inspired by memories of cooking with his grandmother, Carter Hach gives us this delicious lebkuchen recipe. The soft, nutty German cakes resemble warm winter family traditions as the inviting aroma of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger spreads holiday cheer.
“Phila was known for her cookies, especially around the holidays. This particular confection is something of a hybrid between a spiced tea cake and a cookie. The smell and taste always remind me of winter. Next time you have a cookie party, ditch the chocolate chips and try these for something special fit for Ole St. Nick!”
