FROM THE PANTRY
Cookies
WHY WE LOVE IT
They’re one of the easiest ways to bring people into the kitchen, whether it’s baking with kids, sharing with friends, or enjoying a quiet moment with coffee or tea.
A LITTLE STORY
Cookies began in 7th-century Persia as small oven test cakes and later traveled to America, where the chocolate chip cookie was accidentally created in the 1930s, with the Dutch word ‘koekje’ (meaning ‘little cake’) giving us the word ‘cookie.
DID YOU KNOW?
Cookies are perfect for experimenting. Small changes in fat, sugar, or flour can completely change their texture. Play with your cookies and find the one that feels like yours.
