Every year, I bake a lot, but I still place an order for the delicious German Lebkuchen that my family craves at Christmastime. Baking isn’t difficult, but honestly, the most challenging thing about buying Lebkuchen is choosing which varieties to order. (We hold long discussions about it in our family) The selection of types and flavors is almost overwhelming!
So, keep the kitchen clean, and spend a gemütlicher Evening nibbling on cookies… and maybe think about baking next year…(or not)
Where to buy Lebkuchen Online
Ideally, we would all hop a plane to Nürnberg, head over to the Christmas Market, and fill our suitcases. But the next best thing is ordering Lebkuchen online. I’ve been delighted with the Lebkuchen I’ve received. It’s always fresh, and there are a lot of varieties to choose from. Not everything is a discount, but you can get some good deals, and they often have things you can’t find anywhere else.
So, fill your Bunter Teller with “purchased” Lebkuchen and cross one more thing off your Christmas To-Do list.

Oblatenlebkuchen is made with a dough that has little to no flour. The cookies are generally baked on an Oblaten (a wafer) to keep them from sticking to the pan. You will find them glazed, frosted or covered in Chocolate.

Where to Buy Dominosteine
Dominosteine are a hybrid of cookie and candy. They look a bit like Petit Fours. The layers are made from Lebkuchen, jam and marizan, and then the little squares are covered in dark Chocolate. Give my mom a box, and she’s delighted!

Lambertz Dominos Auslese – 200 g
I purchased Wicklein dominosteines and they were so horrible I threw them out. What Wicklein claims is marzipan is nothing but gooey sugar paste. The dominos are so sickly sweet, the jelly horrible and the chocolate is more like an inferior milk chocolate, and does not at all resemble dark chocolate
