National Cookie
Day
If your sweet tooth was beginning to wonder when it would be able to enjoy
a guilt-free snack again, don’t worry, because another food holiday is finally
here – It’s National Cookie Day!
National Cookie Day is obviously to honor these delicious pastries.
Although cookies come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors, they are all equally
scrumptious.
The invention of the cookie began in the Netherlands. Dutch bakers would
test the temperature of their oven by putting small amounts of batter to see if
the oven was ready. Soon enough, they discovered that the cooked batter was
pretty tasty. Thus, the cookie (koekje in Dutch) was born!
Celebrate National Cookie Day by baking a batch of your favorite kind. Have
fun with it and try using different cookie cutters or trying out a new recipe
to make some new yummy creations. You can also visit your favorite local bakery
and bring home some sweet treats.
I like this holiday!=) I think most of you like cookie, that's why I'd like to share with you one of my most favorite cake's recepe: cake "Zebra".

It MUST be mentioned about Cookie monster. it Loves COOKIES!!!
ReplyDeleteCookie Monster is a Muppet on the children's television show Sesame Street. He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases: "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food). He often eats anything and everything, including danishes, donuts, lettuce, apples, bananas, as well as normally inedible objects. However, as his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are his favorite kind; oatmeal cookies are his second favorite. In a song in 2004, Cookie Monster revealed that, before he ate his first cookie, he believes his name was Sid. Showing awareness of healthy eating habits for children, since 2006 he has said that cookies are "a sometime snack" and that he also likes fruits and eggplant.
Kids love cookies and will be excited to try some preschool cookie day activities. Try baking and decorating cookies with your children. Read stories about cookies and talk about which are their favorite kind of cookies.
ReplyDeleteCookie Tasting Party
Have a party and let your children taste a variety of cookies. Bring in sugar cookies, chocolate chips, oatmeal or any other variety of cookies. Consider trying a few unique cookie recipes from other cultures. If desired, ask parents to bake and bring in cookies from their native country. This will expose the children to other cultures while having fun tasting cookies.
Let the children taste some of each type of cookie. You can make a journal sheet with each type of cookie. The kids can note whether they liked each type or not. When they have finished tasting the cookies, talk about the results and graph each child's responses on a large graph made from butcher's paper. =)
