There are always fun facts that go along with most things like cookies. I found it interesting that the word gingerbread comes the Old French word “gingebras,” which means “preserved ginger.” Another point is that these cookies that distinguish them from other cookies use honey or molasses as a sweetening agent instead of white sugar. However, I found adding brown sugar brings these cookies to another level. Did you know that June 5th and November 21st are National Gingerbread Day and that Nuremburg in Germany has the title “Gingerbread Capital of the World”!!?
