COOKIES!!!

 

National Cookie Day


Milk and Cookies! Yummy in my tummy! What's your favorite kind?

And since today is NATIONAL COOKIE DAY how about dancing "All Around the Kitchen" and act out your "Cookies" book. Find some recipes in your family activity book.

While you are enjoying your cookies here's an interesting article about how different personalities eat gingerbread man cookies.

Here's a crumb of cookie trivia: 
With all of the different varieties of cookies that are baked around the holidays, National Cookie Day seems to fall perfectly on the calendar!
Did you know that the English word "cookie" is derived from the Dutch word "koekje," which means little cake? Dutch bakers used to test oven temperatures on small amounts of batter so that they would not waste the entire cake mix if the temperature wasn't right. It was not long though before they discovered that these tiny pieces of cooked batter were actually quite tasty! Thus, the birth of the cookie. 
Cookies come in all different flavors, shapes, and sizes. To celebrate National Cookie Day, bake a few batches of your favorite cookies, then invite your friends over to trade cookies and recipes!

Enjoy your time together!
