Oh? I must have missed or forgotten this from the previous discussions 
of Lebkuchen. What happens during this aging time? Do you keep them 
wrapped up or something? Otherwise, I would think you would end up with 
cookies similar to hardtack, so hard you would have to dip them in 
something to eat them. But if they aren't dried out, how do you keep 
them from spoiling?
