💡 What's interesting

The oatmeal cookie itself has roots in 19th-century Scotland, but the sandwich format is a distinctly modern, often commercial, innovation. Nutritionally, the oats offer a slightly heartier texture and more fiber than a standard sugar cookie, though it remains an indulgent dessert.
