Cookie Holidays: Special Days to Celebrate Cookies All Year Long
Cookie holidays celebrate cookies all year long. These special days let you enjoy specific types of cookies by both baking them and eating them.
These holidays have been designated by the good people at food.com, a clearinghouse of recipes and tips from home cooks all over the world, as well as companies, special interest groups, card companies, and local governments. Whether “official” or not, cookie days are fun and have become tradition, celebrated year after year. Some of the holidays identify a particular type of cookie. Others celebrate a flavor found in cookies. If you need an excuse to celebrate cookies, consult this calendar. Then bake and enjoy!
