Did you know that many foods have national days in their honor? October 1 is known as National Homemade Cookie Day. It seems appropriate that the first day of October would be given this honor, since October also starts three months of holiday celebrations where cookies play a big part.
There are so many national days that are related to food. If you would like to find out more about them, be sure to check out the National Day Guide on my holiday site.
Who doesn’t love the smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven? Some people even bake cookies when the are trying to sell their home with an open house, since the aroma of baking cookies is so inviting.
This is also the time of the year for hosting a cookie exchange. Each guest brings a dozen of their favorites and every one swaps to end up going home with a mixture and some new recipes. What fun!
If you are looking for an excuse to make a batch of cookies, then national homemade cookie day is calling your name. (not that anyone needs an excuse….let’s be real here!)
