There are hundreds upon hundreds of cookie
recipes in the United States. No one book could hold the recipes for
all the various types of cookies. The geographic development of the
United States was reflected in popular cookie recipes. The
railroad's expansion in the early 1800s gave cooks access to
coconuts from the South. Later in the century, oranges from the West
were included in many recipes. Around the turn of the century, the
Kellogg brothers in Michigan invented cornflakes and cookies were
made with cereal products. In the 1930s, with the advent of electric
refrigerators, icebox cookies reached new heights of popularity.
Today there are hundreds upon hundreds of cookie recipes in the
United States. No one book could hold the recipes for all of the
various types of cookies.
