Drop cookies are the simplest type of cookie to make. They are made by dropping a spoonful of dough onto a baking sheet and then bake until they are golden brown. Bar cookies are made by pressing the dough into a pan and then cutting them into bars after they have been baked. Rolled cookies are made by rolling out the dough on a floured surface and then cutting them into shapes with a cookie cutter before baking. Molded cookies are made by molding the dough into shape with your hands or with a mold before baking. Sandwich cookies consist of two thin sheets of cookie dough sandwiching a filling in between them; these can be either baked or not baked, depending on the recipe. No bake cookies simply do not require any baking at all – they can be made from ingredients that only need to be combined and chilled in order to set.

How do you make Lebkuchen?

Lebkuchen (German for “gingerbread”) is a traditional German cookie that is typically made around Christmastime. There are many different recipes for lebkuchen, but most include ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The dough is usually made with flour, sugar, eggs, honey, and milk or cream.

To make lebkuchen, first mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, spices. In another bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat until combined. Add the honey and beat until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until everything is well incorporated.

The dough can be rolled out onto a floured surface and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Alternatively, it can be spooned into mounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (no need to flatten). Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes or until firm to the touch and slightly golden brown around the edges.
