National Sugar Cookie Day Joke
Two sugar cookies were sitting on a bench. The first cookie looked up at the sky and said, "Which do you think is farther, Florida or the moon?" The second cookie looked at the first and said, "Duh! Can you see Florida from here?!"

National Sugar Cookie Day Fun Facts:

  • In the mid-1700s, Protestant settlers from Germany created the first sugar cookies in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
  • Before sugar cookies were called "sugar cookies," they were referred to by other names. Sugar cookies were called gimblettes in France, cimbellines in Italy, and other names like jumbles, jumbals, crybabies, plunkets and gemmels in other parts of the world.
  • Early sugar cookies were often a cross between the modern bagel and a cookie. Many times, sugar cookies were tough and dry, making them convenient to travel with and long-lasting.
  • In North America, sugar cookies are popular during Christmas and Halloween.
  • As of November 10, 2012, Alexander Chin holds the world record for the Largest Christmas Decorated Sugar Cookie at 16.25 inches in diameter.
 

Lived til 90 in the pie business?? You go Betty! My sister came back from a visit to Pennsylvania and shared a piece of her Shoo-Fly Pie with me. It's sure different (made with molasses I think)…but I grew up in Doylestown and Perkasie after leaving Japan so I have roots there and fond memories. You either won't find it anywhere (except where Amish are) or you'll find it and it'll taste like cardboard. I have sensitive tastebuds :playful:
