Lebkuchen
The different regions of Germany have different recipes for this traditional Christmas cookie. Much like gingerbread, it is either soft textured, like Lucie's pictured. There is a more hard/brittle version of the cookie that is decorated with icing with words written out. I saw that kind at the German Christmas Market in Birmingham, England a few years ago.
