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.
