Lebkuchen is a German honey cookie that is
traditionally served at Christmas. But
you can cut the dough in heart shapes for Valentine’s Day, or use an oval
cutter for Easter egg-shaped cookies.

Chocolate-tipped Almond Crescents
Almond crescents are a traditional holiday favorite in much of Europe, but these cookies taste good anytime of year. For an extra special touch, dip them in chocolate.
