A little cookie
history:
The first cookies were created by accident.
Cooks used a small amount of cake batter to test their oven temperature
before baking a large cake. These little test cakes were called "koekje",
meaning "little cake" in Dutch.
Originally called "little cakes," cookies are made with sweet dough or
batter, baked in single-sized servings and eaten out-of-hand. Perfect for
snacking or as dessert, cookies are consumed in 95.2 percent of U.S.
households. Americans alone consume over 2 billion cookies a year, or 300
cookies for each person annually.
Cookies are most often classified by method of preparation - drop, molded,
pressed, refrigerated, bar and rolled. Their dominant ingredient, such as
nut cookies, fruit cookies or chocolate cookies, can also classify them.
Whether gourmet, soft or bite-sized cookies, new categories are always
cropping up as the American appetite for cookies continues to grow.
