What are kosher cookies?

"Kosher cookies" are cookies that are made according to Jewish dietary laws, known as kosher laws. This means they adhere to a set of rules regarding food preparation and ingredients.

Here's a breakdown of what makes cookies kosher:

* Ingredients: All ingredients must be kosher themselves. This means no pork products, shellfish, or other non-kosher meats. Additionally, dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same product or equipment (the concept of "kashrut").

* Preparation: The equipment used to make the cookies must also be kosher. This includes ovens, mixing bowls, and utensils.

* Supervision: Many kosher cookies are produced under the supervision of a recognized kosher certification agency. This ensures adherence to the strict guidelines.

Types of Kosher Cookies:

There are many types of kosher cookies, ranging from classic chocolate chip cookies to more unique flavors. Some popular kosher cookies include:

* Chocolate Chip Cookies: These are a classic and beloved cookie that can be made kosher by using kosher ingredients and equipment.
