Moravian Christmas cookies
[ moh-RAY-vee-uhn ]
A spicy ginger-molasses cookie traditionally served at Christmastime in Moravia, a historic region of the East Czech Republic. The Moravian settlements in the United States-particularly in Old Salem, North Carolina-continue this tradition by making these cookies ultrathin and cutting them into various festive shapes.
