    Oatmeal Raisin Cookies is my choice for O and the history of these cookies dates back to Scotland, where it was first made.

    Though I am not a big fan of Oats and have tried my share of oats for breakfast, I always stock it, and especially when Athamma is with us, I make sure I stock it fully. Since I have been seeing this ingredient around for a while, I never felt I was cooking with something new.

    As with many of the letters for this Challenge, I don't remember how I landed on Oatmeal. I am happy I have selected some easy bakes to do.

    These Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are so delicious. I forgot to chill the dough, and the cookies spread like a thin disc. Which worked out well as well, because it is so crispy and delicious. I had to scale down the recipe from 1.5 cups of Oats to half its measurement.

    When I decided on this recipe, I adapted a couple of recipes. You can always read on the history to know more. Though these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are popular in America, these originated from Scotland and became popular in the early 1900s when they appeared on the Quaker Oats boxes. Oatmeal cookies are the descendants of oatcakes made by the Scots and the British.

      Somehow even when I get oats they are not much used , but making cookies with oats is something I like . Oats taste really good in them . Thin crisp cookies look good and are perfect as a healthy snack .
