Moravian Spice Cookies

Moravian Spice Cookies

Related to German Lebkuchen Moravian Spice Cookies originated in American communities of the Moravian Church (Herrnhuter, Brüdergemeine) comprised originally of German-speaking religious exiles from Moravia, in what is now the Czech Republic; the recipe has been traced back to the 1700s. The blend of spices and molasses, rolled paper thin, has a reputation as the "World's Thinnest Cookie."

The cookie is also popular (especially around Christmas) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which was settled by adherents of the Moravian Church and maintains one of the largest Moravian communities in the United States.

Moravian cookies are made by Salem Baking Company and come in 11 different flavors including: Ginger Spice, Classic Sugar, Chocolate, Key Lime, Meyer Lemon, Tangerine Orange, Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla Walnut, Tangerine Orange, Maple & Brown Sugar and Spice Apple Cider.
