Melt the honey, brown sugar, and butter over low heat, then let cool to warm.
Mix the flour, almond flour, spices, baking powder, and orange zest.
Add the egg to the warm honey mixture and knead with the dry ingredients.
Rest the dough in a cool place for 20 minutes.
Shape small rounds from the dough and arrange on a tray.
Bake the cookies in a 170°C oven for 14 minutes.
Mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice and brush a thin glaze over the warm cookies.
💡 Tip: Lebkuchen may seem firm on the first day; after a night in a closed tin, the honey spreads moisture and softens the texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as a small cookie plate with winter tea, filter coffee, or hot milk.
