It had been a question for me for a long time. Since 1883 cookie has been named a “Jewish cookie”. Thought it a strange name as it resembles a ‘sand-cookie’ or a thin-shortbread cookie. Most interesting to me is that the cookie originated in the city where I live. Now there is a new tin and a new name. The change: the letter J before the O and the N after E are dropped. Now it is Odekoeken rather than Jodenkoeken. An “Ode” in Dutch the same as in English. Clever woke response. The original tin.
