Happy National Homemade Cookies Day!

Don’t skip out on National Homemade Cookies Day! Today, October 1 is the day to treat yourself with yummy homemade cookies right out of your oven! If you aren’t aware, it is actually an ongoing debate on what “homemade” really means. Different people have their own interpretations on what “homemade” entails and what it doesn’t. Some consider homemade only dishes and baked goods that require from-scratch recipes. Others consider the box mixes you can pick up from the grocery store homemade. And there are even some who bake the prepackaged cookie dough and consider them homemade cookies. It has also been brought to my attention that there are those out there with strong opinions over the subject of cookie dunking. Cookie dunking is the act of dunking cookies in milk before eating. Some are strong advocates of cookie dunking, while there are others who believe dunking ruins the cookie. Even though some might disagree on the subjects mentioned, I think we can all agree on which cookie is the most popular across the country, the classic chocolate chip. America’s favorite cookie, as well as many others will be in household ovens across the nation celebrating this yummy holiday!

Listed are some of the most popular cookies to bake right at home:

• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
• Monster Cookies
• Peanut Butter Cookies
• Shortbread Cookies
• Snickerdoodle Cookies
• Sugar Cookie
