October is a Wonderful Month, Especially for Cookies

Via the U.S. Newswire:

Profile America -- Thursday, Oct. 23 -- October is set aside to recognize many causes and activities -- for instance, it's National Roller Skating Month and National Construction Toy Month. But there's one celebration that pretty well touches everyone, regardless of age, background, or interests -- it's National Cookie Month, recalling the tradition and aroma of fresh baked cookies as a symbol of good times. Whether chocolate chip, peanut butter, or any of the dozens of other recipes, cookies are one of America's favorite treats. While many home cooks still bake their own cookies, there are more than 7-thousand retail bakeries around the country, and cookies make up a good part of their almost 2-billion dollars in annual sales. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau on the Web at http://www.census.gov.
