On Sunday, Aug. 4, we honor the cookie that’s perfect hot out of the oven or dunked in a cold glass of milk. National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is a day to rejoice in all the joy cookies have ever brought to your life.

In May, the nation celebrated a whole day dedicated to chocolate chips. But today, we get to celebrate the chocolate chip’s best friend— the cookie.
