Answer 17

"The Pastillarium Baking Company" named after http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking#History is another idea

Answer 18

Okay, so my brand name is "Classic Wakefield Cookie Company" and the history behind it is this, The word cookie originally came from the Dutch keokje, meaning "little cake." In addition, the Dutch first popularized cookies in the United States. The British took a liking to them in the 19th century, incorporating them into their daily tea service and calling them biscuits or sweet buns, as they do in Scotland.

Sometime in the 1930s, so the story goes, a Massachusetts innkeeper ran out of nuts while making cookies. Therefore, she substituted a bar of baking chocolate, breaking it into pieces and adding the chunks of chocolate to the flour, butter and brown sugar dough. The Toll House Cookie, so named after the inn in which it was served, was a hit.

Historians credit the innkeeper, Ruth Wakefield, with inventing what has since become an American classic - the chocolate chip cookie.

The earliest cookie-style cakes are thought to date back to seventh-century Persia, one of the first countries to cultivate sugar. There are six basic cookie styles, any of which can range from tender-crisp to soft. A drop cookie is made by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bar cookies are created when a batter or soft dough is spooned into a shallow pan, then baked, cooled and cut into bars. Do I need to include anything else?

Answer 19

You need to put it in your own words AND you need to put why YOUR company is named that...what does wakefield have to do with YOUR Cookies

Answer 21

or some variant of citing

Answer 22

unless your teacher isnt that specific.

Answer 23

Okay, so, I named my cookie company this because back in the 1930's there was an innkeeper named Ruth Wakefield, who while making cookies, ran out of nuts, so she substituted the nuts with chunks of chocolate. When she served the guest these cookies, they loved them so much that the classic chocolate chip cookie was invented and became very popular.
