During the ensuing Industrial Revolution, more cookie recipes became available. The term comes from the Dutch language where Koekje means "small or little cake". At that time the word "cookie" was first used. Ĭookies became established in Europe sometime between the 17th and 18th century, as baking gained popularity. They evolved into Biscuits for convenience as they were easier to keep fresh for a longer period and were simple to carry for travel. The concept of cookies spread and became known worldwide. The early cookie was first labelled as a test cake before it was referred to as a "cookie" because the Persians would bake a small amount of cake batter in the oven to test the oven temperature, and it would come out looking like a mini cake. Persia was one of the first countries to use sugar and soon became known for luxurious cakes and pastries. Chocolate chip cookie dough is a popular variation that can be made by adding chocolate chips to the mix.Ĭookie dough is derived from the creation of cookies that dates back as far as 7th century Persia, where they were used as test cakes. However, these are often excluded in cookie doughs that are designed to be eaten raw. If the dough is made with the intention of baking, then leavening agents such as baking soda or baking powder are added. When made at home, common ingredients include flour, butter, white sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and eggs.
In addition, pre-made cookie dough is sold in different flavors. Dessert products containing cookie dough include ice cream and candy. Cookie dough is normally intended to be baked into individual cookies before eating, however edible cookie dough is made to be eaten as is, and usually is made without eggs to make it safer for human consumption.Ĭookie dough can be made at home or bought pre-made in packs (frozen logs, buckets, etc.). Cookie dough is an un-cooked blend of cookie ingredients.
