I love oatmeal. For me, nothing says "good morning" like a warm bowl of creamy oatmeal. And many of us know that oats is beneficial in numerous ways if we include it in our diet everyday.
I've always tried to include oats in our food....be it in dosas and idlis or in breads and cookies too. Mr. Peter and Miss J enjoys it all, but our little man is not so easy to please.
Oatmeal cookies are one of the classic cookies made and eaten all over the world. And it tastes awesome when there are raisins in them. But....if you're not fond of raisins, you could replace it with some chocolate chips. I love the wonderful cinnamony aroma that fills my home when these goodies are baked.
A popular theory for the origin of oatmeal raisin cookies is that they descended from Scottish/British oat cakes. In war times, soldiers would carry oat cakes to battle with them for boosts of energy during battle. The first recipe for these goodies was written by Fannie Merritt Farmer in 1896. Oatmeal raisin cookies are also often considered a “health food,” especially it's good for a healthy treat.
So, here's the recipe.
