A Taste of History
The tradition of Christmas cookies is believed to have started in medieval Europe. The ingredients for modern cookies—spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, along with sugar and butter—were expensive and reserved for special occasions. Families would bake special "spice cookies" to celebrate Christmas, a tradition that was brought to America by Dutch and German immigrants.
