National Cookie Month

Violet Simpson and Lena Choi • Oct 4, 2023

The month of October is the month of many things, including National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, National ADHD Awareness Month, and even National LGBTQ+ History Month, but you probably haven’t heard that October is also National Cookie Month! On top of October mostly being known as a spooky season because of Halloween, it is also known for the fall sweets associated with Halloween and candy. I think National Cookie Month falls in nicely with October. However, it is unknown who created this month and when it was created. National Cookie Month celebrates all kinds of cookies, like chocolate chip cookies, raisin oatmeal cookies, snickerdoodles, shortbread cookies, and more. There are many ways to celebrate National Cookie Month. You can try to bake a pan of cookies, eat a pan of cookies, or even share a pan of cookies with family and friends.

Some of Lena’s favorite cookies, in order, are:
Extra Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy M&M Cookies
Macarons
