Let me tell you where to buy Lebkuchen online. Because, if you are like me… either too busy, too overwhelmed, or just too lazy to bake Lebkuchen (depending on who is looking at you), you can STILL buy that delicious German Lebkuchen (all the different sorts!) that you crave at Christmastime. Believe me, no one will judge you. How do you think the Lebkuchen companies survive? They NEED people like us! Consider it a public service, and get extra … just in case (the economy will thank you!)
Now, I’m not saying you should never bake Lebkuchen, I’m just saying, you shouldn’t beat yourself up if you just want to open a tin or the cookie jar, and choose a delicious treat. The most difficult thing about buying Lebkuchen is choosing which varieties to get. (Honestly, the selection of types and flavors is amazing!) Learn more about that here–>What is Lebkuchen
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
Now, ideally, we would all hop a plane to Nürnberg, head over to the Christmas Market, and fill a basket. Since that’s not happening right now, we go with the next best thing. Ordering Lebkuchen online. I’ve been very satisfied with the Lebkuchen I’ve ordered online… 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, go ahead and fill your Bunter Teller with “purchased” Lebkuchen. And take a one more thing off of 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.
Elisen Lebkuchen is the highest quality of Lebkuchen. It is made with virtually NO wheat flour, just ground nuts, honey, spices (and a few other things, just no flour). Expect to pay a little more… and expect the cost to be worth it.
The annual Collectors Chest may cost a bit, but the value you get from the contents make it all worth it. The HUGE tin box comes LOADED with treats. You even find other small tins inside the big box! And all of the tins are collectible, as well as useful (I’ve filled mine with old letters and photos, as well as special memory trinkets)
Large Chests of Schmidt Lebkuchen
Unfortunately, Schmidt Lebkuchen in Germany is sold out of the large chests, but they are still available here…
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!
Still feeling guilty about serving “store bought” Lebkuchen? Worried that someone might say something? Simple… I have a way you can serve homemade Lebkuchen WITHOUT having to pull out a mixer… There are some great online bakers who will sell you their home made cookies! All you have to do is put them on a plate.
DONE! (and no one will ever know you didn’t bake them!!)
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
