Some say they were already being made in ancient Persia, others that they were eaten in Central Europe as early as the Middle Ages, others that they were invented by Viennese bakers to celebrate the victory over the Ottoman invaders, then imported to France by Marie-Antoinette, but the origin remains unclear. It's hard to tell what's true and what isn't, and to distinguish between the legendary and the not-so-real, especially as there are few reliable archives on the subject of gastronomy.
From snacks to pastries....

The cookies of our old-fashioned snacks continue to delight us!
