When and Where did Cookies Originate?
When it comes to cookies, they are little, flat, and sugary treats that are baked or cooked. It is often made up of egg, sugar, flour, and some sort of oil, fat, or butter, among other ingredients. Cookies are thought to have originated in Persia around the 7th century AD, shortly after the usage of sugar became more widespread in the region at that time. They made their way to Europe as a result of the Muslim invasion of Spain. Within a century, European people had embraced cookies in their lives, from local shops to royal cuisine.
The earliest reported appearance of a gingerbread man in the shape of a human figure was at the court of Elizabeth I of England in the sixteenth century. She commissioned gingerbread figures to be built in the likeness of some of her most important guests, which she then presented to them. By the late 1620s, cookies had made their way to the American lands thanks to the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam.
Cookie or cooky are Anglicized versions of the Dutch word "koekje," which means "cookie". Cookies were first mentioned in America in 1703, according to the National Archives and Records Administration.
Variations of cookie preparations and flavoring started popping up. In 1934, Alois and his brother Paul founded a pastry business on Garth Road in Scarsdale, New York, which is still in operation today. This is where they came up with the idea for the world-famous Butter Crunch Cookies— a more chewy, buttery version of normally baked cookies.

What's in This Butter Crunch Cookies Recipe?
Butter. The addition of butter to this recipe results in cookies that are more tender and a little chewy. Butter also contributes significantly to the flavor of the dish.
Sugar. Aside from the sweetness, it contributes to the cookies, sugar also helps in adding a little bit of crisp texture.
All-Purpose Flour. This sort of flour imparts a chewy, crunchy or exceptionally soft texture to your cookies.
Baking Soda. Baking soda will not only help in providing structure for the cookies, but it will also assist the flour in producing a tender and chewy texture for the cookies.
Cream of Tartar. Adding cream of tartar to your baking soda will aid in the creation of a chemical reaction that will make your cookies a little fluffier.
Salt. In the absence of this flavor enhancer, the other tastes in your cookies will be overpowered by the sweetness of the cookie since salt basically balances all the flavors in this recipe. Salt also helps to strengthen the protein in the dough, which results in chewier cookies.
Pecans. For this dish, pecans provide the flavor we've been looking for: a sweet, nutty, and buttery flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
Cornflakes. Add cornflakes to accompany the flavor of pecans! And to add a more crunchy texture.
How to Make homemade Butter Crunch Cookies with Corn flakes?
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt until well combined, then stir in the crushed cornflakes and chopped pecans.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the batter and roll it into a ball. Place it in the baking sheet, then repeat until making about 10-12 balls.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned, then let the cookies cool for 15 minutes, then serve.
Top Tips!
- Measure your ingredients! Too much, too little; whichever will surely ruin your delightful baked good. Take measuring kitchen tools and don't just estimate the number of ingredients to put.
- Refrigerating cookie batter before baking it in the oven hardens it up, reducing the likelihood of over-spreading. It not only results in a thicker, more solid cookie but also in an increased flavor.
Sone Variations
- If you would like a sweeter flavor for your Butter Crunch Cookie, do not hesitate to add a little bit of vanilla extract for its subtle thick sweetness.
- If you like the texture of your cookies to be chewier, add a yolk to the cookie batter, it will help to make the cookies chewier.
Serving Suggestions
A classic pair of cookies in the morning with a glass of Korean Strawberry Milk or Date Shake where you can dunk your Butter Crunch Cookies. During snack time or special occasions when you have to serve these cookies, any freshly squeezed juice would go well with it, but the most favorite one is orange juice. Adults would love white chocolate latte to go with these cookies as well.
Recipe FAQs
A little less time in the oven produces chewier cookies, a little more time makes them crispy. If you prefer softer cookies, remove them from the oven while they are still slightly underbaked. If you want them a little crispy with the hint of a crunch, allow them to fully bake inside the oven until golden brown.
You may place them inside an airtight container once they have all cooled down. After that, you may refrigerate them for longer shelf life. They may last for two weeks in the fridge.
