gingerbread heart
Decorated spiced biscuit
A gingerbread heart is a heart-shaped cookie made from spiced gingerbread, traditionally decorated with icing and often bearing a short message or name.
Associated with German Christmas markets and Oktoberfest, these ornamental cookies typically hang from ribbons around the neck: He bought her a gingerbread heart that said "I love you".
They function more as gifts or keepsakes than as food meant to be eaten.
