life cookies

My FF post is a day early… :D

This is something that’s quite appropriate for New Year. :)

My family have been receiving them every now and then from some of the Benedictine Sisters which have become like family members through the years. Those are what we call as ‘life cookies’ (they have a German name for it, lebkuchen, which roughly translates to “life cookies” or “honey cakes” … ). Too bad I don’t have their recipe… tastes nice and quite moist.

A Blessed and Happy New Year to all!

    I love munching on those, its an acquired taste, so my hubby doesnt like it but the kids and I could finish a whole bunch…or a 5 inch pretzel!

    It also smells wonderful di ba? hihi. I’d try to look for a recipe and translate for you, if not I’d look for an english version.

    Btw, thanks for hosting FF, I am able to meet lots of nice blogging friends like you!
