In fact, on average, every American will eat 35,000 cookies in a lifetime. #NoShame.

Putting out a plate of cookies along with a tall glass of milk for Santa Claus is one of the best Christmas rituals for a kid. And we’d argue it’s also a pretty enjoyable one for Santa — if not a filling one. Apparently, Jolly Old St. Nick eats an estimated 336,150,386 cookies on Christmas Eve.

The word “cookie” comes from the Dutch “koekje,” meaning little cake. Americans eventually adopted the term “cookie” as Dutch settlers integrated themselves — along with the tasty treat — into American life. Thank you, Holland!

Where do you store your homemade cookies? Chances are you keep them in a cookie jar. American cookie jars first appeared in the 1930s as people stopped buying bakery-made foods in favor of baking cookies at home to save money.

Baking cookies in different shapes is a fun activity with a long history. Early American tinsmiths first made cookie cutters by hand in the 1700s, and now cookie cutters have their own special week. National Cookie Cutter Week is celebrated each year during the first week of December. Also, do you know the history of cookie jars? Well, they derive from British biscuit jars. During the Depression, housewives began making their own baked goods and putting them in these jars to save money and keep them fresh.

While macarons are the most popular sweet in France (and are most often associated with the country), they didn’t originate there. You can thank Italian noblewoman Catherine de Medici for the rise in popularity of this chic treat. When she married Henry II of France, she brought her pastry chefs with her to France — who, in turn, brought with them their macaron recipe. However, over time, the French refined the recipe by adding a second layer and filling to the cookie recipe.

“C” wasn’t always for cookie. Cookie Monster first appeared in a commercial for potato chips before crossing over to Sesame Street. His love for the baked good wasn’t established until season two. But, like the rest of us, it has remained in his heart ever since.

There is history behind the milk and cookies snack. During the Great Depression, parents wanted to teach children about charity and appreciating what they had. So, instead of filling their stockings with toys, they stuffed them with chocolate chip cookies and left out a glass of milk for Santa.
