History of Cookies
Cookies, these delicious American biscuits, find their origins in European recipes for small dry cakes. The term "cookie" comes from the Dutch "koekje," meaning "small cake." It was in the 17th century that Dutch colonists brought these recipes to North America, where they evolved into the cookies we know today.
