Magenbrot (German: [ˈmaːɡn̩ˌbʁoːt] ) is a small, sweet glazed biscuit that shares many similarities with a gingerbread cookie.[1] The name of the dish directly translates to "stomach-bread"[2] as it is believed to help improve digestion.[3] This recipe first appeared in Swiss cooking books in the late 18 century.[4] It is usually sold in Christmas markets in northern Switzerland and southern Germany.[5] It is known by many names including Honigkuchen, Gewürzkuchen, or Kräuterbrot.
