A Quick History Lesson About Cookies

According to whatscookingamerica.net the earliest cookie-style cakes are thought to date back to 7th century Persia A.D. Cookies from Persia in their earliest form were introduced to the Mediterranean in 327 BC by Alexander the Great.

By the end of the 14th century, you could buy small wafers on the streets of Paris and cookie recipes could be found in cookbooks during the Middle Ages. Cookies during these times were crisp and thin, not gooey and soft. It wasn’t until the 18th century that butter and larger amounts of sugar were added to the recipe to create the modern cookie that we all know and love today.
