This Wednesday, July 9th, is arguably one of the best foodie holidays of the year, National Sugar Cookie Day. What’s not to love about a sugar cookie? They’re rich, soft, and chewy with a slight crumble and the right amount of sweetness. It’s believed that the precursor to the modern sugar cookie originated during the mid-1700s in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, among German Protestant settlers. The treat was a round, crumbly, and buttery, affectionately called the Nazareth Cookie. Over the years, the recipe was refined and modernized, ultimately evolving into the sugar cookie we know and love today. It’s easy to see why the simple sugar cookie is an all-time favorite for many. Go ahead and indulge a little. Celebrate National Sugar Cookie Day with us! And if you want to bake a batch at home, we have the perfect recipe for the occasion!
