Say "hello" to the best National Day ever (well,...after National Cat Day, of course)! Today is National Bake Cookies day. So check out this bit of history about this fantastic day!
Cookies arrived in America in the 17th century, although the word arrived much later with the Dutch in its original form of “koekje”, meaning “little cake”. This was soon shortened to “cooky” or “cookie”, although cookies themselves seem to date back as far as 7th century Persia! Since then they’ve become a global phenomena that come in more varieties, flavors, and styles than you can possibly imagine. From fruit filled cookies to the simple but delectable sugar cookie (Yep, got a sugar cookie fixation, tis the season!), these “little cakes” are simply the most amazing thing to come out of an oven since bread. Every year people get together to celebrate Bake Cookies Day by baking dozens of cookies for charity drives, orphanages, and generally bringing joy to family and friends everywhere. Because of COVID, you will want to check before baking and trying to donate this year! Search up "cookies" in the catalog and place a hold on one of my cookie cookbooks!
