An oatmeal raisin cookie is a type of drop cookie made from an oatmeal-based dough with raisins. Its ingredients also typically include flour, sugar, eggs, salt, and spices.[1]
When the cookies were becoming prominent in the United States in the early 1900s, they came to be known as a health food[2] because of the fiber and vitamins from the oatmeal and raisins. Nonetheless, the nutritional value of an oatmeal raisin cookie is essentially the same as a chocolate chip cookie in sugar and calorie content.[3][4] Depending on how many raisins or oats are added, the fat and fiber content may not be much different either.
History
[edit]The first recorded oatmeal cookie recipe was published in the United States by Fannie Merritt Farmer in her 1896 cookbook, The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book. While Farmer's original recipe did not contain raisins,[5] their inclusion grew more common over time, due in part to the oatmeal raisin cookie recipes featured on every Quaker Oats container beginning in the early 1900s.[6]
Variations
[edit]
In addition to plain oatmeal cookies, chocolate chips may be added instead of raisins. Other flavorings may be added in addition to the traditional spices.
