In Germany, these cookies have been an institution for almost a century, in fact they have a designation of origin. Its particular flavor of gingerbread we owe it to the nuts and lots of spices that they carry.

As the weekend is approaching, we should get down to work and make a good batch of Nuremberg gingerbread.

    I did not understand how much honey for the glaze and honey counts to bind the dough with honey.

    I find it interesting, I will discuss them tomorrow and give you a comment, I am concerned about the high amount of flour that does not contain baking powder or baking soda.

    My grandmother left us a series of recipes and among them one very similar to this ... I only made them at the beginning of December so that the honey would take moisture from the environment and soften it ...
