HISTORY ”FROM GOLD”BEHIND THE PRODUCT

   Biscuits or small cakes ?? Probably the cakes we call muffins or individual cakes today were born from cookies! Cookies from the Latin bis (: twice) + cotto (: baked) and to find the first recipe we must ask homo erectus or homo sapiens!

  It was then in the Neolithic Age when hot stones were the first oven and on days when the hunt had not gone very well, the grains that were in abundance were baked with water. 

  Other sources make it clear that the Chinese were the first to bake fruit and honey pies. Other sources inform us about the Assyrians who use clay pots, where they placed the dough before putting it on the fire!

  In Ancient Greece, and especially in Athens and Chios, the local "placounters" are very popular in the gastronomic world. They looked like big cookies, they had honey, spices, fat and they were followed by the Roman "busellum" which were long lasting cookies! 

 In 7th century Persia, bakers developed the "biscuit nuts" by adding eggs, butter, cream, fruit and honey to the dough. 

  And we come to the end of the 14th century in Paris of painting, cabaret and Toulouse Lautrec. There, cookies are sold in the picturesque "boulangerie" to sweeten the Parisians of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages.

  From then until today, the recipes are constantly evolving. The cookies started to be made with honey, then honey was replaced by sugar and now it returns dynamically as it is the healthiest and most valuable sweetener! Apart from that, new ingredients such as nuts and superfoods, dynamically invade the cookie recipes, making them a very tasty energy snack for our daily life!
