What is a cookie?
By definition it is a small sweet flat cake. It is believed that the first batch of cookies were made in Persia in the 17th century (Persia was one of the first countries to cultivate sugar). The word cookie stems from the Dutch word "koekje" pronounced "kook-ya". It translates as "little cake".

We have pushed the limits of your imagination with our assortment of cookies. Some are more like pastries like Greek Baklava or more like doughnuts as in Mekitsas from Bulgaria. We hope you enjoy this collection and even try a few (dozen).

The recipes in this collection are either traditional or have become popular over time in the given country consequently becoming a regional favorite making them Classic Country Cookies.

Please take a moment to review the cookie types, techniques, and ingredients.

Cool stuff!  Four of our recipes (Romanian Tea Cookies, Oatey Squares, Sesame Seed Cookies, and Turkish soldier buttons), will be featured in a "Cultural Cuisine" course put on by the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension in an after school program.
