oatmeal cookies

Chewy grain biscuits

Oatmeal cookies are baked treats made with rolled oats, giving them a chewy, hearty texture distinct from standard flour-based cookies.

They often include raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts: Grandma's oatmeal raisin cookies were legendary.

The oats lend a wholesome reputation that makes them feel like a healthier indulgence, whether or not that's true.
