Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page creative writing essay in which the writer relates what it was like to bake Moravian Christmas cookies as a child. The writer relates that Moravians are a Protestant sect with a rich heritage and quite a few specialty dishes. My childhood is filled with memories of Moravian bread and sugarcake, but--most of all-- of Moravian cookies. Christmas would not be Christmas without these thin, crisp ginger-flavored morsels. Forget trees, wreaths, or mistletoe, it is having those cookies to crunch while sitting next to a fire that equates with Christmas for me. No bibliography is included.

encouragement and comments like "How hard can it be? Its just cookies," Mom and I began assembling the necessary ingredients to make the dough. Everything went smoothly until we reached
