Since then, the day has become well-known, and bakers, cafes, and cookie lovers from all around the world get together to mark this delicious tradition.
How Cookies Began to Be
Cookies have been around since the 7th century, when they were made in Persia as a way to check the temperature of an oven. Before making bigger cakes, bakers would use a small amount of cake batter to test how hot the oven was. The cookies we know and love today started out as small test cakes.
As trade around the world grew, cookies became famous in Europe, where they quickly became a staple in many homes. By the 14th century, cookies were being sold on the streets of Paris, and by the 17th century, they had made it to America. Over time, different countries came up with their own recipes for cookies, giving us a wide range of flavors and textures to enjoy today.
