Today we celebrate a delicious and nutritious cookie.
According to nationaldaycalendar.com, "Oatmeal cookies have been around since the 1800s. The cookies quickly became popular, and by early the 1900s, a recipe for the delicious treats appeared on containers of Quaker Oats.
Oatmeal cookies are also considered health food because they are an excellent source of iron and fiber.
Some of the other benefits of the oatmeal in the cookies include:
It may lower cholesterol.
Oatmeal reduces the risk of heart disease.
It may reduce your risk of cancer. (According to the American Cancer Society, eating a diet high in fiber may help reduce your risk for cancer.)
The grain is low in fat.
Oatmeal is low in calories.
Add oatmeal to your diet as a good source of iron and fiber."
In honor of today, here's a few ways you can pay homage:
