One of the staple goodies of the holiday season is the cookie. Whether you’re someone who enjoys those peanut butter cookies with the Hershey’s Kiss on top, an artful frosting-decorated sugar cookie, or something more gourmet, like red velvet or shortbread, here’s a food holiday for you: National Cookie Day.
Not to be confused with the more specific National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on Aug. 4, National Cookie Day is a celebration of all cookies every Dec. 4. Restaurants and businesses are rolling out fresh deals to mark the occasion.
(If you’re looking for other ways to celebrate or get into the holiday cookie spirit, we’ve got some drool-worthy holiday cookies anyone can make.)
When is National Cookie Day?
National Cookie Day is celebrated every year on Dec. 4, and in 2022, it takes place on a Sunday. Although Cookie Monster first conceived of the holiday on Sesame Street, the Blue Chip Cookie Company first decided to officially celebrate National Cookie Day on Dec. 4, 1987.
