The baker, who was long dead at that time, kept the recipe of the cookie in secret. In order to find out the recipe, the young confectioner called the devil and asked him to help to get the recipe. Using simple ingredients, the confectioner managed to cook such delicious gingerbread that even the devil ate it together with a metal tray used for serving.
