GERMAN LEBKUCHEN WITH GERMAN BAKING WAFERS OBLATEN
The cookies are baked on a thin, edible wafer called oblaten. Oblaten are crisp, white wheat wafers that are available in specialty food shops. If you do not have a specialty food shop that handles oblaten, check with a local religious supply house. Wafers that are used for communion come in various sizes, including 2 3/4 and 3-inch diameters, and can be used for lebkuchen.

- Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, stir the sugar and lemon juice together to make a thin glaze.
