History of National Cookie Dough Day

National Cookie Dough Day is celebrated annually on June 21. Cookies, and therefore, cookie dough, date back to 7th-century Persia. They were first used as test cakes in a country that was one of the first to use sugar, and that would quickly become famous for its opulent cakes and pastries. Because the Persians would bake a small amount of cake batter in the oven to test the oven temperature, and it would come out looking like a mini cake, the early cookie was labeled as a test cake before it was referred to as a ‘cookie.’ The concept of cookies spread and became well-known all over the world. They evolved into biscuits for convenience, as they kept fresher for longer periods.

As cookies became more popular and people began baking them at home, they would taste the cookie dough batter to ensure the sweetness, although the custom of eating cookie dough came about much later. More cookie recipes surfaced during the subsequent Industrial Revolution and new cookie forms and flavors are constantly being developed. One of these is the concept of edible cookie dough, dough that is intended to be eaten raw such as that found in ice cream and candy. Edible cookie dough is made without raw eggs and with heat-treated flour. Nestle Toll House Edible Cookie Dough, Do, Edoughable, and The Cookie Dough Café’ are among the companies that sell edible dough. Edible cookie dough became a dessert trend in 2010, spawning several businesses. The cookie dough flavor, which originated as comfort food in the United States, has gained worldwide acclaim.
