It’s exactly one week until Christmas, and what better way to celebrate than by baking cookies? 18 December is National Bake Cookies Day!
Cookies arrived in America in the 17th century, though the word “koekje,” which means “little cake,” arrived much later with the Dutch.
This was quickly shortened to “cooky” or “cookie,” though cookies themselves appear to date back to 7th century Persia! Since then, they’ve grown into a global phenomenon with more varieties, flavors, and styles than you can imagine.
These “little cakes,” from fruit-filled cookies to the simple but delectable sugar cookie, are simply the most amazing thing to come out of an oven since bread.
Every year, people gather to celebrate Bake Cookies Day by baking dozens of these treats for charity drives, orphanages, and bringing joy to family and friends all over the world.
