The History of Cookies and Biscuits

The Persian nan-e nowruz is a type of flatbread that was made in ancient Persia and is still popular today. It is made with flour, water, and salt, and is often flavored with nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.

The American chocolate chip cookie was invented in 1938 by Ruth Wakefield, the owner of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. She added chopped chocolate to a cookie recipe, and the result was a huge success.
