National Oatmeal Cookie Day

Oatmeal cookies are a type of cookie that is made with rolled oats, flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil. They are a classic American cookie and are popular for their chewy texture and wholesome ingredients. Oatmeal cookies can be made in a variety of flavors and can include additional ingredients, such as chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, or spices. Some recipes also call for the use of brown sugar or molasses to give the cookies a richer, more complex flavor. One of the benefits of oatmeal cookies is that they are often considered a healthier alternative to other types of cookies, as oats are high in fiber and contain a number of beneficial nutrients. Additionally, the texture and flavor of oatmeal cookies can be easily customized to suit individual tastes and preferences. Oatmeal cookies can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert and are often served with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They can also be used as a base for other desserts, such as ice cream sandwiches or crumbled on top of yogurt or ice cream.
