Ginger cookies with icing came to us from the depths of centuries from an unknown monk who lived in the XI century, because it was thanks to his absent-mindedness that the classic recipe for ginger cookies appeared. While preparing for the monastery's Christmas meal, the monk confused ground ginger with flour, but everyone in the monastery liked the pastries so much that the recipe spread to other monasteries.
