The Quaker Oats Company was officially formed in 1901 when several American grain pioneers came together to incorporate the now familiar name. These pioneers were Ferdinand Schumacher, John Stuart, George Douglas and Henry Parsons Crowell. This oatmeal cookie recipe is satisfyingly good and wonderfully simple. Add a glass of milk and enjoy a tremendous cookie.

2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1  egg
