Aachener Printen

Aachener Printen are a type of Lebkuchen originating from the city of Aachen in Germany. Somewhat similar to gingerbread, Printen were originally sweetened with honey, but for two centuries the tradition is to use a syrup made from sugar beets. The term is a protected designation of origin and so all manufacturers can be found in or near Aachen.
