OLD GERMAN HONEY COOKIES

I got this recipe from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough". Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but they're still good.

These cookies are very dry. I think I would have preferred them if they were a bit softer.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies were still very good.

I had a hard time finding Lebkuchengewürz, but I finally found it at a specialty spice shop. It was worth the effort, because these cookies are amazing!
