❤️ Lebkuchen Cookies ~ German Gingerbread made just like Oma

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 11x17-inch cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Put butter, molasses, and corn syrup into a small pot and heat just until the butter melts.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, spice mix, baking powder, and salt.

Stir butter mixture into dry ingredients, mixing well.

Add eggs one at a time, stirring until well mixed.

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls onto cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Press lightly with your fingers to form each into a disc.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.

To make the glazes, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl (about 2 minutes in a microwave) and stir until smooth. In another bowl, mix powdered sugar with about 3 tablespoons water and stir until smooth.

Dip half the cookies into the chocolate and half into the white icing. Top with nuts to decorate.
