| RESULTS: Christmas Cut-outs > Gingerbread 9 to 3 Yesterday's inequality here! Gingerbread was brought to Europe in 992; however, it wasn't until Queen Victoria and Prince Albert included it with a variety of German Christmas traditions that the gingerbread became associated with Christmas. Since the 1930's, children in the US have left milk and gingerbread cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve night. The cookies can be cut in many shapes, including candy canes, reindeer, and snowmen, and can be decorated with any kind of frosting and candies. The modern Christmas sugar cookie cutout has a more recent history. The sugar cookie was first introduced by the Movarians who settled in the Nazareth area from Germany in the mid 18th century. Although they were plain at first, they have now evolved to be covered in rich frosting and sprinkles of all colors and shapes. The cookies themselves are generally cutouts of Christmas figures and traditions; making them festive, decorative, and delicious. |

Can I have my Christmas cutout without frosting?
ReplyDeleteI want mine in the shape of a ninja!
ReplyDeleteI don't care for either so I'm only voting because I'm not The Grinch. Ginger bread cookies are usually dry and the frosting is always some gross homemade shit. Also, GINGER! Anything that has the word ginger in it is unacceptable as far as Dancampbells concerned. As for the X-mas Cut-outs and pretty much any X-mas cookie; I don't really know what the deal is. It's like people feel that during the holiday season they need to "Cook outside the box". They're like 10 different styles of cookies you don't see any other time of the year and the regulars are in the mix, but there just not the same. Either they tried to inject some holiday flavoring or residue from the other cookies. There always broken too. Shel-Botz right about the frosting thing as well for these holiday surprises. Not cool. Give me some Chips Ahoy, chewy chocolate chip cookies and call it a year. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Dan, you are very correct. It seems that there are no two cut-out recipes that taste the same. However, my Mom and Sisters make them near perfect and gingerbread sucks no matter how you cut it.
