Cookies are delectable and popular baked treats enjoyed worldwide, which are characterized by their distinctive sweet and crispy texture, often featuring a wide array of flavors and ingredients. Prepared from a simple combination of basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and leavening agents like baking powder or soda, cookies come in various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for diverse occasions and palates. Beyond their delightful taste, cookies serve as versatile treats. They are commonly enjoyed as standalone snacks, paired with beverages like milk or tea, and also incorporated into desserts such as ice cream sandwiches and cookie cakes. Furthermore, cookies have become symbolic of hospitality, often offered as gifts during festive seasons or as tokens of appreciation. While often associated with their sweet variants, also come in savory forms, offering a diverse range of flavors to suit various tastes and dietary preferences. Savory cookies may incorporate ingredients such as cheese, herbs, and spices, making them ideal for savory cravings or as accompaniments to soups and salads. One of the fascinating aspects of cookies is their versatility in terms of shapes and sizes. Bakers use a plethora of cookie cutters and molds to create intricate designs and holiday-themed cookies, adding a touch of artistry to these delightful treats. Moreover, some cookies, like fortune cookies, even hold hidden messages or predictions, adding an element of surprise and entertainment.
