The oldest dessert invented by mankind is the cookie. The exact age of the appearance of this type of baked goods is unknown. It
is believed that cookies began to be cooked about 10,000 years ago. However, it is worth remembering that before this, people had to start making bread. Without cereal crops, baking cookies would not have been possible.
Most likely, the flavors of the first cookies were not similar to modern desserts. For the most part, ancient cookies were a mixture of wheat porridge and honey.
Fortunately, progress has not stood still. Now we can enjoy delicious cookies made from quality products.
