What Are Cookies
In the event you’ve never been to a bakery or sweet shop, a cookie is a small flat or slightly raised cake made from stiff, sweet dough rolled and sliced or dropped by spoonfuls on a large, flat pan (cookie sheet) and baked. If you’ve never tried a cookie, we certainly recommend trying one as soon as possible. They’re quite delicious.
