It’s Oatmeal Cookie Day! Oatmeal cookies have been around for years. Although our modern-day version is much sweeter, oatcakes and oatmeal cookies share many of the same ingredients, including spices, nuts, and raisins.

Host a National Oatmeal Cookie Day Recipe
Coordinate with coworkers or family and friends to have an oatmeal cooking baking contest. Have anyone who’s interested bake up their favorite recipe and bring it to work. Then have a contest with judges to see which one is the favorite. Use the leftover cookies to create a delicious cookie buffet in the breakroom at work.
