Their addition to baking became a symbol of wealth and festive treats. The cookie has a crispy crust and a soft, rich flavor with a hint of spice. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or hot tea, creating cozy moments. Such treats are often made for winter holidays, filling the home with warmth and the scent of fresh baking.
