Oatmeal Cookie Day

It’s Oatmeal Cookie Day! Oatmeal cookies have been around since the late 1800s. They originated in England, and evolved from the savory oatcake. In the Middle Ages, soldiers carried oatcakes with them in case they needed a quick boost of energy during battle. Although our modern-day version is much sweeter, oatcakes and oatmeal cookies share many of the same ingredients including spices, nuts, and raisins.

Oats are an excellent source of iron and fiber, which explains why oatmeal cookies are the healthiest type of cookie! Make a homemade batch today to celebrate Oatmeal Cookie Day!
