July 9th - National Sugar Cookie Day


July 9th has come to be known as "National Sugar Cookie Day" over the years. The main reasoning for creating such a day is that everybody loves a good sugar cookie and it allows you to satisfy that sweet tooth in all of us. Even better, sugar cookies are a blank canvas that can be delicious on their own or dressed up with all types of designs, sprinkles or even icing that is perfect for any day, holiday or not, and served to people of all ages.

This delicious sugary treat was created in the mid-1700s by German Protestant settlers in the Nazareth area of Pennsylvania, but were most likely an expansion on an earlier unleavened cookie called a jumble that has been around since the middle ages.
