When you enjoy the comforting crunch of a Newman’s Ginger Cookies Snack, you are tasting centuries of culinary history! This simple, yet perfect combination brings together two ingredients with roots that stretch back across millennia and continents.

For over 4,000 years, Ginger has been used by man, both as a powerful medicine and as a rich spice. Originating from the region which is modern day India in Asia, ginger became a precious commodity traded along the ancient Spice Routes. Ginger’s rich history as both a medicinal agent and a culinary favorite explains why it remains a popular, comforting, and flavorful ingredient in products like the Newman’s Ginger Cookies Snack.

The humble cookie has its own unique travel story. The American term “cookie” comes from the Dutch word koekje, which literally means “little cake.” When the Dutch settlers brought their recipes to the American colonies, the name stuck, referencing that original function as a small, separate cake used to test oven temperature. Originating approximately 1,300 to 1,400 years ago, the cookies we enjoy today are far removed from those earliest test cakes.

This is where tradition meets quality! The marriage of ginger’s ancient, comforting spice with the simple, satisfying structure of a modern cookie is a stroke of culinary brilliance. So, getting the rich spice of ginger and perfectly blending it with our quality ingredients in Newman’s Ginger Cookies is a combination of absolute goodness.
