Gingerbread is a sweet dish that often uses honey or molasses rather than sugar and 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 first appeared in Europe in 992 by an Armenian monk. He was 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 was widely available in the 18th century.
