Bake Cookies Day

🍪

Is there anything more cozy and tantalizing than the sweet aroma of cookies baking in the oven?
Some may say that baking cookies is just a waste of time, or that they’d rather buy them from the store. But they’re missing out on the joy and satisfaction of creating something with their own two hands.
Plus, you get to lick the bowl! (That is, if you didn’t use any eggs.)

How it began

The origin of Bake Cookies Day is shrouded in mystery, like the secret ingredient in grandma’s recipe. But some say it was created by a cookie-loving fairy who wanted to spread cheer and deliciousness throughout the land.
Good enough story, we guess.

December 18th is the perfect date for this holiday, as it falls smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. It’s the time of year when we all need a little extra sweetness in our lives.

Why?

Now, let’s address the pros and cons of baking cookies.
Pros: deliciousness, warm fuzzy feelings, potential to impress friends and loved ones.
Cons: burnt cookies, mess, and the temptation to eat them all in one sitting.

How to celebrate

Celebrate this holiday on your own or with your furry friends or stuffed animals. Or, get your loved ones involved and make a whole day out of it! You can even do it on a budget – homemade cookies are a gift from the heart.

But if you’re feeling extra fancy, go all out with a cookie decorating party, complete with sprinkles, frosting, and all the fixings. Just don’t forget to set aside some cookies for Santa!

When it comes to drinks while baking, a cold glass of milk is a classic choice, but why not mix it up with some hot cocoa or a festive eggnog? Just be careful not to spill it on the cookies!

If you find yourself with too many cookies, don’t fret. You can share them with neighbors, coworkers, or even donate them to a local charity. Or, if you’re feeling indulgent, freeze them for a rainy day.

Now, let’s get down to business. How do you bake the perfect cookie? Well, that’s a topic for another day. But just remember to have fun, be creative, and most importantly, be safe!

Safety tips

Wear your favorite oven mitts so you don’t burn your hands and look fashionable.
Be careful not to taste the dough if you use raw eggs. You don’t want salmonella unless you love tummy aches and runs to the toilet.
Watch the oven. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. You want to bake cookies, not your house!
Baking cookies is addictive. Once you smell the cookies, you want to eat the cookies, then you need to bake more cookies and you will never be done baking. It’s a vicious circle into cookie addiction!

In conclusion

Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, Bake Cookies Day is the perfect excuse to whip up some delicious treats and spread joy to those around you.
So go ahead, indulge your sweet tooth and enjoy the holiday to your heart’s content. And if anyone asks, just tell them Wild Calendar gave you permission to do so.
Happy Bake Cookies Day!
