I made these last year for all of my grandchildren and my Bible study ladies group. They were a huge hit! My husband and I lived in Germany during the 1970s while he was in the military and I fell in love with those huge cookies! My husband originally came from Germany, and his folks moved to America back in the early 1950s after WWII. I have always wanted to keep his heritage intact for our daughter’s sake along with her four children, so I have invested myself into learning all that I can about German cooking and baking. These are exactly as I remembered them tasting while living in Germany. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting your videos and also, your recipes on your web page. ❤️👍🏻🥰 Oh, by the way, I used to be an accomplished cake decorator in my younger years and have won several grand prize trophies while entering contests, so with that said, my hearts turned out quite beautifully last year. May God bless you for posting this recipe and method. ❤️

[@CplcDesbiens]

Wow I've just found your youtube videos. I'm so happy!!!! I used to live in Germany, Lahr and I do miss these cookies a lot. I'll make them for sure in the next few days for my kids. Danke!!! 🙂🙂

[@Loghome55]

Excited to try these!

[@struckanerve88]

thank you for sharing your recipe, my grandma used to buy gingerbread hearts for me and my brother from one of the women at her german club but she's stopped making them. I will definitely have to try this myself.

[@MyGermanRecipes]

Definitely try baking them, it's a lot of fun. But if you need a new source for the gingerbread hearts: I am selling them on Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/PretzelDesign Large and small hearts and with personalized writing on the large ones.

It’s on my bucket list to go to a real, German Oktoberfest! My husband is a teacher so we can’t go until he retires as it’s almost always during term time. I can’t wait to go to Germany and Austria again.

Goldig! Das würde meinen Kindern gefallen

[@Bageera63]

Very pretty! I use a stick/immersion blender for hot liquids while still in the pot because of my fear of the expanding that takes place in a regular blender. My fear became your reality. I am glad your arm is doing better. Bless you.

[@Nancy-hf6cm]

I am so glad your channel is here! I am very keen to learn German recipes. Thank you.

[@contactlynda]

Lovely! I didn't know about the three-day slice of bread!

[@dianejohanson98]

Bought one about that size at Christmas Market in Munich several years ago. It was pretty crisp by the time we came home. But it was still good. I may make some for Our family for Christmas this year. Thanks for the recipe.

[@lauraellen189]

How adorable!! I love these! ❤

[@mariannesims8091]

Tolle Rezepte, einfach nachzumachen! Ich wohne auch in Amerika. Wo kann ich frische Hefe kaufen? Schade, dass nicht mehr Zuschauer deinen Channel abonnieren... naja, nur nicht aufgeben!

[@MyGermanRecipes]

Hallo Marianne, die Frische Hefe habe ich beim Bäcker im Central Market in Houston bekommen aber leider verkaufen sie die nun nicht mehr. Der Kanal wächst und wächst und 31.000 finde ich schon eine Menge. Aber zum Geld verdienen reicht es leider nicht wirklich. Ich bleibe trotzdem dran, es macht neben viel Arbeit eben auch viel Spaß 😀

[@vancosten]

Thank you! Such wonderful gingerbread! I am sorry you were burned. I am glad it was not worse!

[@MyGermanRecipes]

Thank you, James. At least I learned that it is NOT a good idea to put a boiling tomato sauce back into the blender ... I can't even describe how the kitchen looked after that explosion-like incident.

[@vancosten]

Oh goodness. I am sure the kitchen was a real mess! I am so happy you were not burned even worse!

[@ProctorsGamble]

I place a damp paper towel on a piece of plastic wrap on top of my cookies to make and keep them soft. It doesn’t mold like bread.

[@alisonstewart9089]

What about all the other spices and fruit ?

[@eaf5073]

How thick did you roll the dough?!

[@roystonfarquhar9683]

In my country an Oktoberfest is synonymous with apart from vast quantities of beer and very salty pretzels, also with sauerkraut and Eisbein. Would you consider placing your recipe for traditional {or authentic} German Oktoberfest Eisbein?

[@MyGermanRecipes]

Eisbein is usually more a thing in North Germany and the traditional Oktoberfest is with Haxen. Same meat, just different ways to make it. But there is nothing wrong with switching things and both taste really good. However, last year I drove through half Houston and annoyed every butcher with asking for this piece of meat. All they had to offer was pig feet 😐. They cut pigs apart differently in the US. I had to give up on it, unfortunately.

[@roystonfarquhar9683]

@@MyGermanRecipes Fortunately South Africa then must be far more German that I was left to believe! We have wonderful Eisbein BUT being a chef I always wonder about whether this is the real German version of simply a local "cooked up" version. I always want to preserve the original version of the food. I really do enjoy your videos.

[@MyGermanRecipes]

@@roystonfarquhar9683 Yes, I understand that very well. I like things to be kept original if possible. But sometimes I don't have a chance to get the ingredients or in the videos, it might be too much work for others to do it the traditional way, then I take shortcuts or switch out things like Quark for Greek Jogurt or so. I absolutely love, how international my channel has become: From the US to Australia to South Afrika and to several countries in Europe ... even to the Philipines - fantastic!

[@szcze]

Thank you for the video (the link in the description is broken, it must be www.mygerman.recipes/recipe/oktoberfest-gingerbread-hearts-lebkuchenherzen/). How big should the shape be for it to make real German cookies? I suppose the size is determined intuitively, I am interested in approximate size, even not necessarily in any units, any comparative measurement like "size of a human hand" or something like that would work.

[@MyGermanRecipes]

In my opinion the most realistic Oktoberfest heart size is about 9 x 9 inches. It’s also a good size for writing a message on it.

[@Hawatt11]

how can you call it gingerbread when there is no ginger in it?

[@333Socks]

Statement from she who must be "Obeyed" at all times, those are not simple burn marks, those are Battle Scars and comand sympathy from me!
