MOM'S OATMEAL COOKIES
From an old Tupperware cookbook.This is my family's favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. I have been making this since I was little. I give a favorite uncle this every year for Christmas. He hides them so no one else can have any. You can either sift the flour or not. If you sift it the cookies spread more. My family prefers unsifted, the cookies stay more compact & moist. I changed it a little bit, original recipe made a base cookie mix for 12 dozen cookies.

Tips:
- Use high-quality oats. Opt for rolled oats or old-fashioned oats for the best texture and flavor.

- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. This ensures that they are cooked through without being overdone.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to set properly.
