Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips are a classic in home baking that have conquered palates around the world. Originating in the United States, these cookies became popular in the early 20th century as a nutritious and delicious option, especially due to the use of oats, an ingredient considered healthy. In Latin America, this type of cookie maintains its essence, although it can be found under different names: in Mexico they are simply known as "oatmeal cookies," while in countries like Argentina and Colombia, they are sometimes called "oatmeal cookies with chocolate." Their versatility and flavor make them ideal for both breakfast and snacks, and they are highly appreciated for their soft texture and the sweet touches that the chocolate chips provide.
