Homemade oatmeal cookies are a classic treat with roots in American baking, inspired by the traditional Scottish use of oats. They are made with rolled oats, flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and often include add-ins like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. These cookies offer a chewy, hearty bite with natural sweetness and warmth. Oats are the star ingredient, packed with fiber and nutrients like manganese and zinc, making them a healthier base compared to refined flours. While their nutritional benefits include sustained energy and heart health, the added sugar and butter in traditional recipes can increase calories and saturated fat. For lighter versions, you can reduce sugar content or substitute ingredients like mashed bananas or whole grain flour. Ideal for a quick snack or dessert, homemade oatmeal cookies strike a balance between indulgence and wholesome goodness.
