Nürnberger Lebkuchen - Vegan and Fat Free! image

These are a traditional German treat for Christmastime. As for this variation on the goodie, I don't know how authentic it is, but vegan and fat free - really, who wants to second-guess that?! I found it on FatFree.com.

Time 40m

Yield 40 cookies, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup honey
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
slivered almonds, for decoration (optional)
1 cup sugar (optional)
1/2 cup water (optional)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix honey, sugar, eggbeater, lemon juice and rind. Blend dry ingredients separately.
  • Stir the wet into the dry. Chill overnight.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Roll out a small amount of dough at a time to a 1/4 " thick log. Cut into 2" rounds.
  • Place each cookie round on a nonstick cookie sheet, and place a slivered almond in the center if desired.
  • Bake about 12 minutes, or until set.
  • Immediately brush with glazing icing, if desired:
  • boil sugar and water until the first indication of a 'thread' appears as it thickens (around 230 degrees).
  • Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar. Bush this lightly over the cookies (when the icing gets sugary, reheat slightly, adding a little water until clear again).

Overall, I thought these lebkuchen were pretty good. They're a nice alternative to traditional lebkuchen, and they're much healthier.

These lebkuchen were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think I'll try adding more moisture to the batter next time.

These lebkuchen were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
