Traditions Behind Christmas Gingerbread Cookies
Gingerbread baking became a respected craft in medieval Europe, where specialized guilds held exclusive rights to bake gingerbread except during Christmas and Easter. Decorating cookies with icing became popular in the nineteenth century, inspired by European fairytale traditions. Snowflake shapes are especially popular because no two real ice crystals share the exact same structural pattern.

- Gingerbread pastry base: warm medium brown
