JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It might be one of the easiest, not to mention tastiest, holidays to celebrate: Dec. 4 marks National Cookie Day.
Fittingly, Sesame Street first marked the day on Nov. 26, 1976, according to NationalDayCalendar.com. A decade later, the Blue Chip Cookie Company began celebrating it on Dec. 4 instead.
