These 4 inch Christmas gingerbread ornaments are triangle shaped Christmas gingerbread cookie sandwiches with white cream and a white frosting trunk at the base. The chocolate cookie gingerbread Christmas tree has white icing wavy garland, red, green, and yellow ornaments, and a red and white candy cane bow at the top. The chocolate Christmas cookie gingerbread recipe includes a sprinkling of glitter sugar, which makes the ornaments look delicious, but there is a warning on the back reminding us that the Christmas gingerbread ornaments are not eatable and are only for display. The Christmas cookie gingerbread ornaments hang by red ribbon. Christmas Gingerbread History: Ginger reached Europe in the 11th century when it was brought back by those who traded with the Middle East. The attractions of ginger were quickly recognized: it could be used medicinally (to treat flatulence, hangovers, and stomach disorders), as a preservative, to flavor food, and the ginger root was soon traded at fairs across the continent. The center of the medieval ginger trade was Nuremburg, which became famous for its Christmas gingerbread cakes and cookies baked by a special guild of Lebkuchler. At Christmastime, Christmas gingerbread was a well-loved feature of Nuremburg’s Christkindlmarket, as it is to this day. Gingerbread can be made hard or soft, dark or light, heavily spiced or mild. It can be cut into various shapes, the most famous of which are “gingerbread men” (the invention of which some attribute the Queen Elizabeth I of England) and Christmas gingerbread houses, which Germans call Hexenhausle, or “witches’ houses,” after the home of the cannibal confectioner in “Hansel and Gretel.” Christmas gingerbread can also be cut into shapes suitable for ornaments and hung from Christmas trees as Christmas gingerbread man ornaments. The Gingerbread House By Patricia Mongeau Deep in the forest where all dreams come true Is a gingerbread house just waiting for you. Its roof is a mixture of sugar and spice And the chimney is made of everything nice. Bright colored bonbons grow around the front door, And chocolate cookies are laid for the floor. Its walls made of cookies are cheerful and gay, And they make this house seem like a nice place to stay. The house is surrounded by green sugar trees, And you may eat just as much as you please… Deep in the forest where all dreams come true Is a gingerbread house just waiting for you!
