Treat your sweet tooth today! We all love ooey-gooey cookies, so add a little happiness to your life on National Cookie Day. References to cookies vary depending on which country you are in. For example, in England and Australia, they are called biscuits, Spain refers to them as galletas, Germany named them keks and Italy has several words for the dessert. In America, the earliest reference to cookies was provided in 1793 by the Dutch in New York. The sweet treats were easy snacks for traveling and popular throughout all levels of society. Today, they are enjoyed as simple treats from brands like Oreo and Chips Ahoy! and as a baking pastime.
