    I've also added 30 g mixed peel. Like Margaret, I have been cooking them at Chirstmas from the WW each year as gifts

    Planning to make these today using recipe from WW chocolate cookbook which I've been using for many years each Christmas, and deciding too hard to convert.  So pleased to find your recipe which is almost the same except you have no mixed peel in yours. I also spread underside with chocolate.  And ditto to the above comment re the jam and wooden spoon.

    I make these every Christmas for my in laws, and was just contemplating how I would use the thermie this year... And then I found your recipe, the same as the one I use, I make star shapes, and also spread chocolate on the back, bit of a tradition now, thank you for sharing

  • This recipe is almost exactly

    This recipe is almost exactly the same as my Lebkuchen recipe so it was great to see it converted in the TM. I add the zest of one orange & spread melted chocolate on the underside of each biscuit which works really well. To ensure the jam doesn't run down the biscuit, I indent the centre of each biscuit with the end of a wooden spoon. They are always a hit. Thanks for posting this recipe  tmrc_emoticons.)
