Introduction
The cookie has had a long and assorted history. The earliest record of cookie-type treats were small cakes that were made in seventh-century Persia. These small cakes spread to Europe during the Crusades, and by the fourteenth century cookies were well known in Italy and France, and their popularity had begun to spread to the rest of Europe.
In the 1600s, immigrants brought cookies to America. The word cookie
actually came from koekje, the Dutch word for small cake.
Cookies were saved for holidays and special occasions because it was difficult and expensive to get the ingredients to make them. There weren’t many varieties of cookies, but many of them are still popular today, including gingerbread and macaroons.
In the late 1800s, technology was creating new ways to make and process foods. Sugar and certain spices were easier to find, and women had a bit more leisure time. With the ability to more accurately regulate the temperature of their ovens, bakers were able to create different textures, shapes, and varieties of cookies. Bar cookies became popular among busy farm women in the early twentieth century as a way to make the family a treat quickly. During the depression, no-bake
cookies allowed families to satisfy sweet cravings with readily available dried fruits and nuts. The popularity of these cookies increased during the 1940s as rationing limited the availability of ingredients like sugar and chocolate.
Today, baking is often associated with holidays, celebrations, or special times with family and friends. Your first baking experience may have been with some sort of cookie. Making a habit of baking cookies and brownies with your children is an excellent way to create memories and build relationships. And in this cookbook, you’ll find fifty great cookies and brownies to choose from, from classic chocolate chip to decadent Triple Layer Peanut Butter-Chocolate Bars.
Don’t wait for a rainy day to make some cookies and brownies. Choose a recipe, gather your family together, and enjoy some quality time while creating a mouthwatering treat.
White Chocolate Chip-Macadamia Cookies
Macadamia nuts are incredibly rich and lend an unmistakable flavor to these decadent cookies. The creamy sweetness of white chocolate pairs perfectly
