The Ultimate Guide to Rockford's Best Cookies on National Cookie Day | Dickerson & Nieman Realtors

Warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies are our favorite sweet treats, so it's no surprise our real estate agents were excited to learn National Cookie Day is coming up on December 4. Many believe cookies originated in Persia as early as the 7th century. The word cookie is derived from the Dutch term cookie, which means "little cake." Today, there are so many different types of cookies, and everyone has a favorite.

If you're ready to taste some of Rockford's best cookies before the holidays, we can recommend some must-stop shops.
