It’s National Cookie Day!

We would argue that every day is a good day for a cookie – but today is an especially good day for one!

It’s National Cookie Day!

Just a little tasty trivia for you: the word “cookie” is derived from the Dutch word “koekie,” meaning “little cake.”

A cookie is defined as: a baked snack or dessert that is typically small, flat, and sweet.

Cookies are called “biscuits” in England!

And, since it’s the holiday season, according to a Monmouth University survey, the top Christmas cookie is the frosted sugar cookie, followed by chocolate chip and gingerbread.

To celebrate, many bakeries and businesses are offering new cookies and freebies today.

Here’s just a few:
