Many other European countries have similar Honey Spice Cookies and they are known as Pernik in the Czech and Slovak republics, Pierniczki in Poland, Medenki in Bulgaria, Piparkakut in Finland, Pffernneuse and Lebkuchen in Germany.
Medenjaki are a traditional Slovenian cookie; also known as Honey Spice Cookies. These delicious cookies come in many different shapes, however the heart-shaped ones are typically the most common, and are definitely my favourite. They are made around the holidays and given as gifts. Some of them are real pieces of art.
