Who First Invented Cookies?
The exact origin of cookies is not clear; however, the first traces of cookies date back to 7th century AD Persia, where sugar and sweet treats were highly valued. The concept of cookies then spread to Europe during the Crusades, and it was only in the 17th century that cookies as we know them today started to emerge with the development of modern ovens. So, it is not possible to pinpoint a single person who first invented cookies.
