Gingerbread is a sweet dish that traditionally uses honey or molasses rather than sugar, and it is usually flavored with ginger. Gingerbread cookies range from a soft, moist loaf cake to something closer to a ginger biscuit.
Gingerbread is thought to have been first introduced to Europe in 992 by an Armenian monk. He lived there for seven years, teaching gingerbread baking to the French priests and Christians until his death in 999.
Gingerbread biscuits were sold in monasteries, pharmacies, and town square farmers markets in the 17th century. Gingerbread became popular during the 18th century.
