The word "cookie" dates back to at least the 17th century when it was used in Scotland to refer to a "simple bun." But what language does the word originate from?

Answer Dutch

The American use of the word "cookie" comes from the Dutch word "koekje," which translates as "little cake." It came to American English in the early 1600s with the Dutch colonization of New Netherland.
