I used to order boxes of Lebkuchen (Mini and Regular) each year when I lived in NYC. When I moved back to Singapore, I missed them so much over the festive season. This year, I was in NYC for work and managed to get a shipment delivered to the office. I shared some of the Mini Lebkuchen with my colleagues and they enjoyed them very much. Delicious!
Wonderful cookies. These are as good as you would find anywhere in Germany!
I'm a fine baker but each holiday this is my only purchase, food wise. Tis a superbly made moist, spicy treat topped with quality dark chocolate. Pricey but worth it. Tins are eye fetching - making a future gift item prettily presented.
I purchased several tins of Leckerlee’s Mini Lebkuchen to gift to friends. They were so good I had to keep an extra tin for our family. I’ve always looked forward to lebkuchen when traveling in Germany, and these are so much better than any I’ve ever had.
SO happy with the Bargain Bin tins! The packaging was fantastic and blemishes/imperfections were minimal...less than I anticipated. I kept some for myself and used others in lieu of Christmas gift bags for others. I'm a new fan...thank you so much! Appreciated the excellent customer service and quick arrival once shipped as well!
These cookies are great! I received a can as a gift and ending up buying more. I’ve marked my calendar to order more next year.
I've had an opportunity to try other brands of lebkuchen and the ones from Leckerlee are the best! The texture and moistness of the cookie are perfect and the chocolate is not too hard nor soft but right in the middle and generously spread! I can't stop eating them!
Your lebkuckhen are so fresh and flavorful and obviously made with quality ingredients! I am spoiled now for all other lebkuchen available to me in the US!
My husband was raised in Germany. I met him 38 years ago, and he introduced me to German holiday goodies such as lebkuchen, dominosteine, linzer torte, and stollen. In all these 38 christmases, I have never had a lebkuchen as good at the Lecker Lee one. The spices were perfect, the bottom wafer was just right, the chocolate was high quality chocolate, and the whole thing wasn't dry. It was A+ and I will be getting these lebkuchen every christmas from now on :)
Although not as showy as Lebkuchen, the neat glazed rectangles of these gingery Swiss cookies are delicious. Until I found them again through Leckerlee, I thought these special treats a lost art of baking since I had only ever eaten the ones from a premium bakery in Aspen called Les Delices. I am thrilled each year to eat them alongside Leckerlee’s Lebkuchen.
Loved your lebkuchen! However the extra large communion wafer underneath is pretty weird and takes away from the experience of eating your otherwise delicious cookies. I assume it's there because of the sticky dough, but is not pleasant to bite into, especially not knowing it was there. I finally discovered your (very small print) explanation on one of the enclosed cards, but only after I'd peeled off the styrofoam-like wafer. Disappointing finish to a great cookie.
Hi Rhonda, thanks for your review. We're glad that you enjoyed the lebkuchen but sorry that you did not like the wafer. Unfortunately, we're not able to do anything about the wafer, as it is intended to be a part of the cookie. As background, the wafers on the bottom are known as Backoblaten in Germany, and they are a common feature of several German baked goods, including lebkuchen. They have their origin in the communion wafer, which Franconian monks used during the Middle Ages to prevent lebkuchen dough from sticking to the baking sheet. Thus, the wafers have long been a traditional component of the lebkuchen. I hope that helps explain why the wafer is there.
If you have ever tried authentic German lebkuchen - like E Ottto Schmidt from Nuremburg - you will love the delicious, fresh lebkuchen from Leckerlee. Got a box of assorted for my son and DIL, and gluten-free lebkuchen for myself. I don't know how they do it, but they have replicated them perfectly. I adore the dense and spicy cookie that fills my entire palm, glazed and topped with an almond. Thank you for the delicious, nostalgic Christmas experience!
I get my wife a new tin and fresh Lebkuchen each Christmas. They never disappoint and remind us of our time stationed in Europe when we visited the magical Christmas markets.
Everyone enjoyed these wonderful cookies. Delicious.
Everything was tasty and different. We would buy again.
For decades I've been ordering lebkuchen directly from Germany, but they were never fresh and thus not as tasty as they should be. I discovered Leckerlee at a store in Albuquerque, and they are outstanding. Fresh and tasty! No more ordering them from Germany. I am so happy!!!
The traditional cookies are divine. The gluten-free cookies are equally delicious! The tins are fantastic. Leckerlee is a wonderful treat. (Sometimes I keep a gift all to myself😊.)
Delicious, authentic gingerbread. Gave a tin to my parents and they said it transported them to their childhood in Germany.
lived in Germany for 13 years and this is the real deal. Will purchase again. A++++++
