National Cookie Month is observed throughout October as a celebration of cookies. The month encourages cookie lovers to enjoy favorite flavors, try new recipes, and share these sweet treats with others. According to Calendar Holidays, the observance’s exact founding date and origins are unclear, and no founder has been identified.
