From tiffin boxes to tea-time trays, cookies have always had a way of making life sweeter. Whether it’s the aroma of freshly baked nankhatai or the satisfying crunch of a butter cookie, these tiny treats have travelled a long, delicious journey to reach your plate today.
So where did it all begin? And why do cookies still hold a permanent place in everyone’s hearts (and jars)? Let’s take a bite into the past.
A Sweet Journey Through Time
Did you know history of cookies? It started out as little test cakes?
Lets see history of cookies : Centuries ago, bakers used small amounts of cake batter to test oven temperatures. These “test cakes” turned out to be tasty, so people started baking them on purpose — giving birth to the humble cookie.
- Origin: The word “cookie” comes from the Dutch word ‘koekje’, meaning “little cake.”
- Spread: As trade routes opened, cookies travelled from Persia to Europe, and eventually, to every corner of the globe.
- In India: From jeera biscuits to khari to butter cookies — we’ve embraced the cookie and made it our own.
At Atul Bakery, we continue this rich tradition with every cookie we bake — always 100% vegetarian, always baked with love.
Why Cookies Are Still Everyone’s Favourite
Let’s be honest — cookies are more than just a snack.
They’re:
- Emotion-packed: Reminders of childhood, school breaks, or that one relative who always had a tin of treats.
- Versatile: Sweet, savoury, crunchy, soft — there’s a cookie for every craving.
- Shareable: One of the few things everyone agrees on at a table (even if they fight over the last one).
- Perfectly Portable: No fuss, no mess, just joy in every bite.
