Did you know that National Cookie Day is celebrated every year on December 4th? This delicious day was created in 1987 by Matt Nader, founder of the Blue Chip Cookie Company, who wanted to honor the beloved cookie during the holiday season—a time when many of us indulge in sweet treats. Even the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street has been a big supporter of this tasty holiday!
Baking cookies is a wonderful way to spend quality time with children. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that allows kids to get a little messy while also teaching them important skills like measuring, following directions, and practicing patience as they wait for those little lumps of dough to bake into perfection. And of course, nothing beats the reward of enjoying freshly baked cookies together!
