Everyone loves homemade cookies. Nothing is more inviting than the scent of freshly baked cookies or their view of cooling on the counter. It 's my favorite kind of aromatherapy.

Cookies have a long history, dating back to the seventh century, Persia. Since 1800 began brownie recipes appear in cookbooks such as "cookies." In fact does the term "cookie" from Koek Koekjes Dutch word and means little cake.

Recipes for cookies in a variety of styles and flavorswas built in 1900 and continues today. The cookies are baked treat the most common household kitchens and it is estimated that more than half of all the chocolate brownies are homemade chips.

But there are many other types of cookies waiting outside to cook. Most cookbooks classify them by how they were formed in the following categories or types of cookies:

Bar cookies, squares, or Pan Cookies
To make the type easier and faster than cookies. Batter or dough ishold or spread in a pan and cut into bite-sized pieces after baking. Brownies are the classic example of a cookie batter-type bar, but come in a variety of styles and flavors.

Drop Cookies
By far the most common form of homemade biscuits by dropping or banging cookie dough from a teaspoon or a tablespoon prepared pan created. Mix together, drop, bake and enjoy - definitely a simple kind of cookie. Some examples include drop cookies, oatmeal raisin, peanutButter and chocolate.

No bake cookies
Another simple no bake cookie does not require an oven. They are a great way for children who made fun of cookies to deliver. Some of my favorite recipes without cookies bake Rice krispie bars, balls date coconut, rum balls, bars and peanut butter.

Ice box or refrigerator cookies
Originally done as a "cookie Ice Box" of hard cheese that is usually cooled and formed into a cylinder underBefore slicing and baking. contemporary cookbooks can categorize refrigerator cookies sliced or cut into slices and bake. You can cut a log of cookie dough in the refrigerator or freezer, then into slices, cook and enjoy a warm, freshly baked, homemade cookies, a cookie request strikes.

Shaped cookies
These cookies are shaped by hand or with tools or extruded from a cookie press or pastry bag. Shortbread is a classic example of a cookie shaped like a hand. There are also manyof the popular tourist destination "spray" cookies that must press a special cookie.

Regardless of which type of cookie to make friends and family are sure to applaud your efforts.
