What is National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day?
Cookie holidays are available, and then there is National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day. This holiday is held each year on March 18th, a delicate cookie made from oats is celebrated.
Some people may recall this day as National Oatmeal Cookie Day (which is observed on April 30th). The difference between the two cookies is that lacy oatmeal cookies are wafer-thin and usually come with a scoop of ice cream or sorbet.
Oatmeal became a staple in the American diet in the early 1900s. Americans used other grains before that. Originating in England, oatmeal cookies have existed for since the 1800s. However, it is believed that they were made after the oatcake was invented. Soldiers were able to carry oatcakes with them for a quick boost of energy during combat. Fannie Merritt Farmer's first recorded oatmeal raisin cookie recipe was published in 1896 by Fannie Merritt Farmer, according to most. The cookies became popular as a health food. A recipe for the delectable treats appeared on Quaker Oats containers by the early 1900s.
Bakers make lacy oatmeal cookies using a variety of recipes. In addition, home bakers bake with a variety of oats, quick-cooking oats, oat bran, or oat flour. Add finely chopped or ground fruits (such as raisins) or nuts (such as raisins) or nuts for a healthier cookie, then use a sugar substitute. With icing drizzled on top of the cookie, you can also decorate your lacy oatmeal cookies.
