National Cookie Day is coming! Most people know about Thanksgiving and Christmas, but you may not have known that National Cookie Day is smack in between the two holidays. And who doesn’t love cookies? From the fortune cookies, we force ourselves to eat after a yummy Chinese dinner to Girl Scout Cookies that sell out year after year, we can’t seem to get enough.

According to CNET, National Cookie Day is December 4th and was “proclaimed” in 1987 by the owner of Blue Chip Cookies in San Francisco. More than likely cookies did not need their day, but Blue Chip Cookies needed to move some inventory. 

So, now, we have National Cookie Day and hopefully, it won’t cause any roadblocks near some of the major retailers that are featuring fun sales. And unlike the Oreos being used to lure rats to their untimely end in NYC, these cookies are not in the business of murder.

Here are some of the best sales you can take part in to help celebrate National Cookie Day! 

Cheryl’s Cookies

Find some deep discounts to partake in National Cookie Day with $20 off purchases of $60, $30 off purchases of $80, and $50 off purchases of $150 or more. It’s easy to accumulate this much savings when Cheryl’s features flavors like Caramel Apple and Cinnamon Roll.

Insomnia Cookies

The cookies that are sweeping the nation are on sale! Now’s your chance to try them if you haven’t already! These Lil bits of yumminess can be delivered to your home up until 3:00 AM, baring that you are within range of a shop. If not, you’ll have to drive or get some shipped. But, you’re up anyway, right?

National Cookie Day is celebrated at Insomnia with a free classic cookie with any purchase in-store or via the app.
