To honour the significance of the beloved cookie, people all across the globe celebrate National Cookie Day on December 4. Whatever your cookie preference—salty, sweet, crisp, or chewy—we will all eat them. Every feeling, event, and attitude may be matched with the perfect cookie. We always have cookies on hand, whether we're unhappy, happy, or together, whether we're studying late into the night or rushing to meet a job deadline. As a traditional way to celebrate the holiday on December 4th, people enjoy their beloved cookies. Here are all the cookies you need to try on National Cookie Day!

1. Chocolate chip cookies

This holiday should be renamed National Chocolate Chip Day!  First, chocolate chip cookies, everyone's fave! This cookie has a little bit of everything: classic oats, chocolate chips, sweetened coconut, raisins, and chopped walnuts. The classic chocolate chip cookie recipe is the most popular choice for those who want things done the old-fashioned way. It has the perfect texture. Every mouthful will be luscious and very moist thanks to two melted sticks of butter and one cup of light brown sugar.

2.  Lemon Bars

There is no cookie recipe that is easier or lighter than lemon bars. For good reason, this sweet is among the most devoured bar cookies ever. This traditional recipe calls for a buttery shortbread crust and a classic lemon filling (lemon zest, condensed milk, and egg yolks) that is sure to be a hit. We suggest glazed lemon cookies if you're looking for a traditional cookie. Both the dough and the icing of these colourful cookies include zest and juice of lemons. They provide a touch of charm to any springtime get-together or tea ceremony.

3. Gingerbread cookies

We go full gingerbread as soon as the calendar turns to December. Molasses, dark brown sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are just a few of the festive spices that make this classic cookie recipe so special. If you're looking for a tasty twist on the classic gingerbread recipe, try making chocolate gingerbread instead. Instead of using regular ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, you can use a mix of Dutch-processed cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate.
