Oatmeal cookies have a long history and are believed to have originated in Scotland during the early 19th century. Oats were abundant in the region, and people started incorporating them into various recipes, including cookies. Oatmeal cookies became especially popular in the United States during the early 20th century when Quaker Oats introduced a recipe for "oat cakes" on their packaging. Over time, variations of oatmeal cookies have emerged, and they are enjoyed by people all over the world.
