Today is:
Oatmeal Cookie Day
There is nothing better than eating a warm oatmeal cookie right out of the oven! Hearty and crispy, oatmeal cookies have been popular for centuries. The first oatmeal cookies were created during the late 1800's in England. These cookies, however, were not the same consistency as we know of them today; they were more oatcakes than actual cookies. During the Middle Ages, spices, nuts, and raisins began being added to the recipes and oatmeal cookies as we know them today were born.
Today, there are many different variations of the original oatmeal cookie recipe. Some people add chocolate chips, nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, or even avocado! To celebrate Oatmeal Cookie Day, bake a batch (or two) of oatmeal cookies using your favorite recipe!
1911 - Theodore Roosevelt opened the Roosevelt Dam in Phoenix, AZ. It was the largest dam in the U.S. at the time.
Quote of the Day:
Procrastination isn't the problem, it's the solution. So procrastinate now, don't put it off.
- Ellen DeGeneres
