[Sca-cooks]cookies was hello there

[johnna holloway]

Expand the definition of the term "Cookie" and
the word that comes to mind is Wafer.
Those they made for festivals and fairs and just for eating. They also 
did a lot of griddle cakes like oatcakes, etc that fit into the mode of 
crackers today.

Glad you like the list.

  While it is probable that cookies were not done much in period (too 
small and individual of an item), I often make Snickerdoodles with 
various spice blends for events. Although the sugar on the outside of 
the Snickerdoodles may well have been too expensive to use, they tend to 
have a more believable effect than chocolate chip or peanut butter or 
the more fancy Danish cookies our family does.
