The sweet aroma of the cookies, combined with the delicious flavours that just melt in your mouth, makes cookies the perfect snacks. Whether you are baking them for kids or guests, their sweetness will fill your kitchen with a pleasant fragrance. 

Cookies come in various flavours, textures, and shapes, each offering a unique taste. A few examples are banana cookies, coconut cookies, coffee cookies, and lemon and jaggery combo. Some are incredibly soft, while others are chewy. Cookies can also be crispy, depending on the ingredients you add. If you are baking for a special occasion, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, you can try cookie cake. It’s a large cookie baked like batches of small pieces, except it’s served with frosting.
