(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 05, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- October is National Cookie Month. The origin of this "national" holiday is unclear but the origin of the beloved cookie is well documented.
Cookie derives from the Dutch word koekje or (informal) koekie which means little cake, and arrived in the English language through the Dutch in North America. It spread from American English to British English where biscuit is still the more general term.
In the United States and Canada, a cookie is a small, flat baked dessert. In most English-speaking countries, outside of North America, the most common word for this is biscuit. In some regions both terms are used, while in others the two words have different meanings—a cookie is a plain bun in Scotland, while in the United States a biscuit is a kind of quick bread not unlike a scone.
Cookies are most commonly baked until crisp on the outside and soft inside. The softness of the cookie usually depends on how long it's baked. Cookies are made in a wide variety of styles using an array of ingredients including sugars, spices, chocolate, butter, peanut butter, nuts and dried fruits. And there are many types of cookies: dropped, rolled, pressed, refrigerator, molded, bar, sandwich, fried and twice baked. Grama's Kitchen even has a recipe for a chocolate chip cookie baked in a silicone baking cup.
Silicone baking cups, typically used for muffins and cupcakes, are non-toxic, heat resistant and bake directly on a cookie sheet. Many brands, like Grama's Kitchen, have a no questions asked guaranteed return policy.
