4 Easy Ways to Serve North Carolina-Made Moravian Cookies In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, it's all about incredibly thin (and amazingly flavorful) Moravian cookies. By Catherine Strawn May 8, 2014 Each year, more than a million pounds of Moravian cookies come out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Our baked treats are great all year, but nothing says Christmas quite like the taste of our Ginger Spice or Classic Sugar Moravian Cookies. Dewey’s Bakery Moravian Cookies may be thinnest cookies you’ve ever seen, but they are full of flavor and give you that hometown feeling no matter where you are.
Through the ages, this thin cookie became legendary. The Moravians journeyed to America and founded the town of Salem, North Carolina in 1766, bringing their cherished recipes. The town eventually became the vibrant community of Winston-Salem, where our bakery was founded in 1930 and the place we still call home today.
During the holidays, Winston-Salem’s cookie ovens never cool. They’re working overtime producing more than a million cookies to supply the demand sold at bakeshops along The Moravian Cookie Trail. Bakers make the original ginger spiced molasses flavor, along with a variety of flavors, including black walnut, Meyer lemon, chocolate or espresso.
