As if we need more junk food between Thanksgiving and Christmas, today is National Cookie Day.

The sweet celebration began with San Francisco-based Blue Chip Cookie Company, whose late founder Matt Nader said “It’s just like having National Secretaries Day…It willjust be a fun thing to do.”

The blue, fuzzy fan of all things cookie-related has championedthe holiday, too. Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster proclaimed his own National Cookie Day in”The Sesame Street Dictionary” (1980)but never associated a date with the day.

If you’re hoping to celebrate the day, several retailers are offering sweet deals Sunday:

  • Insomnia Cookies: All customers get a free cookie with any purchase.
  • Whole Foods Market: Chocolate chip cookies are $0.25 all week; limit three per person.
  • Pei Wei: Receive a free cookie with every entree or kid’s meal purchase.
  • Nestle Toll House Café by Chip: Get a free chocolate chip cookie when you order a Nestle Cafe.
  • DoubleTree by Hilton: Hotel guests and the general public are invited to select locations to receive a free cookie.
  • Hershey’s: On Tuesday, the chocolate company will serve free Hershey’s Cookie Layer Crunch Barsat Philadelphia’s City Hall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • Jaques Torres: Six chocolate cookies are free when you spend $75 in store or online.
