Lebkuchen

I love this recipe that does not take the wafers that are usually used for the bottom of these tender honey cookies with dried fruits and nuts. There is only 1 1/2 TBLS of butter along with 1/2 cup of almonds if you care about fat content. Do not even think about skipping the lemon glaze, it makes these great cookies spectacular. You are supposed to be able to store them for 6 months, but they never last that long at my house.
