Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

A delicious and chewy oatmeal cookie recipe that everyone will love! This delightful recipe has been generously shared with me recently by the renowned Arva Flour Mill, and it has quickly become a favorite within our family. The Historic Arva Flour Mill, which is charmingly situated on the picturesque banks of Medway Creek in Arva, Ontario (just north of London), boasts a remarkable history, having been in continuous operation for an impressive 205 years. This remarkable legacy makes the Mill Canada’s sixth oldest continuously operating business and quite possibly the oldest food-producing company in the nation. Notably, the Mill holds the distinction of being the oldest commercial flour mill in Canada. At Arva, they take great pride in producing truly artisan flour, using our antique Goldie & McCullough cold roller mills, which elegantly replaced the traditional stone ground grist mills back in 1904. Remarkably, the mills may very well be the last of their vintage to be found anywhere in North America!
