For centuries the term referred to a traditional European pastry, very like a modern cookie, traditionally used to make gingerbread men. It gained fame in the realm and abroad when it was brought to Sweden by German immigrants. Gingerbread was a popular treat at medieval European festivals and fairs, and there were even dedicated gingerbread fairs. The first documented trade of gingerbread biscuits in England dates to the 17th century, where they were sold in monasteries, pharmacies, and town square farmers’ markets. One hundred years later, the town of Market Drayton in Shropshire became known for its gingerbread, as is displayed on their town’s welcome sign, stating that it is the “home of gingerbread”.

Gingerbread came to the Americas with settlers from Europe. Molasses, less expensive than sugar, soon became a common ingredient and produced a softer cake. The first printed American cookbook, American Cookery by Amelia Simmons, contained seven different recipes for gingerbread. In England, gingerbread may refer to a cake, or type of cookie or biscuit made with ginger.
