Lambertz Dessert Spitzkuchen, German Gingerbread Cookies 100g (3.5oz)

Lambertz Dessert Spitzkuchen are the pointed-format spiced gingerbread biscuits from Lambertz, the Aachen-based German confectionery company founded in 1688 — the Spitzkuchen (literally 'pointed cake') in the Lambertz Dessert range, glazed and flavored with the Aachener gingerbread spice tradition that represents one of the oldest surviving recipes in German confectionery. Lambertz was established in Aachen in 1688, making it one of the oldest continuously operating bakery confectionery companies in Germany, and the company built its identity specifically on the Aachener Printen and Lebkuchen tradition — the gingerbread and spiced biscuit category for which Aachen has held a geographical distinction since the medieval spice trade made the city a center of German gingerbread craft, distinct from the Nuremberg Elisenlebkuchen and the Bavarian variants. The Spitzkuchen form — a pointed or conical gingerbread shape in the German confectionery tradition — appears most prominently in the Christmas and Advent season, but the Lambertz Dessert range positions the format as a year-round gingerbread biscuit for the household that wants the Aachener spiced confectionery tradition available outside the holiday calendar. Serve with coffee or Glühwein as the German spiced dessert biscuit, set out at gatherings as the Aachener gingerbread specialty, or enjoy with afternoon tea as the centuries-old Aachen confectionery tradition brought to the diaspora table.
