December 18th marks one of the sweetest days of the year: Bake Cookies Day! At Bake the Cookie Shoppe, we believe every day should be a celebration of cookies, but this holiday gives us the perfect excuse to go all out. Whether you’re a baking pro or simply a cookie enthusiast, Bake Cookies Day is your time to shine. Let’s dive into what makes this day special, some fun cookie facts, and how you can join the celebration with us!

A Sweet History

Bake Cookies Day doesn’t have an official origin story, but its roots lie in the centuries-old tradition of baking cookies during the holiday season. Cookies were originally baked in small, easily shareable sizes, making them the perfect treat for gatherings and gift-giving. Today, cookies are a symbol of comfort, celebration, and love – and this holiday is all about embracing that.

Fun Cookie Facts

1. The Word “Cookie” Has Dutch Roots
   The word “cookie” comes from the Dutch word “koekje,” which means "little cake."

2. The First Cookies Were Accidents
   In the 7th century, bakers used small portions of dough to test oven temperatures. These "test cakes" eventually became the cookies we know and love today.

3. Cookies Were a Space-Saving Solution
   In medieval Europe, cookies were baked as a way to preserve sweet treats. Their dry texture allowed them to last longer than cakes.

4. The World’s Largest Cookie
   In 2003, the world’s largest cookie was baked in North Carolina. It weighed over 40,000 pounds and measured 102 feet in diameter!

5. America’s Favorite Cookie
   The chocolate chip cookie was invented by accident in 1938 by Ruth Wakefield, and it has since become the most popular cookie in the United States.
