In Russia, many people celebrate Christmas by baking pryaniki — a type of glazed gingerbread cookie.
Darra Goldstein, the Willcox and Harriet Adsit Professor of Russian at Williams College, wrote that "pryaniki are the oldest Russian sweet."
According to Goldstein, earlier iterations of the treat were "coarse and heavily spiced," but over time, "their texture and flavor have been refined."
The cookies have a brown-and-white exterior and, once you break them in half, reveal jam at the center. Goldstein's recipe, and another version from Martha Stewart, both call for plum jam.
Goldstein adds a mix of cardamom, ginger, mace, and cinnamon to her cookies and tops the batch with a sugar and lemon glaze.
