Hey Guys!
I am the host of a really cool show entitled It’s National Day, where we highlight some of the cool national days that you may or may not know about. We are launching on the youtube today! Click Me!
Today is December 4th and you may know this day as Jay-Z’s birthday but it is also National Cookie Day! Now according to NationalDayCalendar.com:
“The origin of the cookie appears to begin in Persia in the 7th century, soon after the use of sugar became common in the region. They were then spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. Cookies were common in all levels of society throughout Europe by the 14th century, from the royal cuisine to the street vendors.
Cookies arrived in America in the 17th century. Macaroons and gingerbread cookies were among the popular early American cookies.
In most English-speaking countries outside of North America, the most common word for cookie is biscuit. In some regions, both terms, “cookies” and “biscuits” are used.
Cookies are classified into different categories, with the most common ones being:
Bar cookies – Drop cookies – Filled cookies
Molded cookies – No bake cookies
Pressed cookies – Refrigerator cookies
Rolled cookies – Sandwich cookies “
