History of National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day

Oats are rich in vitamin B, zinc, manganese, folate, iron, carbs, and fiber. Their beneficial properties help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and improve metabolism, assisting with weight loss. Despite their natural, non-meat origin, oats are considered protein-rich and also contain loads of antioxidants. With that being said, it’s clear that almost all oat products are healthy, including the fan-favorite cookie.

While the origin of the cookies themselves can be dated centuries back, the exact origin of this holiday is not exactly clear. Oatmeal, popularly known as horse food in England, was actually part of the staple human diet in Europe and Scotland. Oats were initially consumed as porridge in Europe before oatcakes were created in the 18th century and became common among soldiers as they gave them strength.

These are a sour version of the cookies, though they contain the same ingredients. Oatmeal was introduced to North America by Scottish immigrants and has become an integral part of the American diet, enjoyed as porridge, cookies, and even used for skin conditions. According to the history books, the first oatmeal cookie recipe was made by Fannie Merrit Farmer in 1896, with lacy oatmeal cookies following decades after.

The cookie can be made using several different recipes, each producing a biscuit with a distinct flavor. Some of the fan favorites include those made with chocolate chips, various nuts, and raisins. The Lacy Oatmeal cookie can be enjoyed with ice cream, sorbet, or a hot beverage like tea.
