Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a classic in home baking that have won over palates all around the world. Their origin dates back to the United States in the late 19th century, when oat flour was a popular ingredient for being nutritious and accessible. In Latin America, although they are commonly known as "oatmeal chocolate chip cookies," in some countries they go by similar names like "oatmeal biscuits" or simply "oatmeal cookies." This delicious recipe has been adapted with various regional ingredients, but it maintains its essence: a sweet and crunchy mix with the irresistible touch of chocolate.
In Mexico, for example, they are called "oatmeal and chocolate cookies" and are a favorite for coffee time, while in Argentina and Chile it is common to find them in artisanal bakeries. Regardless of the name or region, these cookies represent the perfect combination between the texture of the oats and the sweetness of the chocolate chips, ideal for sharing with family or enjoying as a snack.
