Otherwise, these might come close, if you change the shape and add  
frosting:

It's was  soft cookie, similar to gingersnaps or perhaps lebkuchen
(without the  fruit).  It was very dark, I believe contained molasses and
cloves,  and the neighbor topped them with white icing and a pecan (I
think).   I think she also rolled them out like sugar cookies, and cut
them into  diamond shapes.
