Family-Favorite Oatmeal Cookies image

My mother got this recipe in about 1910 when she was a housekeeper and cook for the local physician. The doctor's wife was an excellent cook and taught my mother of lot of her cooking techniques. The cookies soon became a favorite in our home and, when I got married and had a family of my own, they were a favorite throughout the years. My five children also enjoy baking these cookies for their own families-it's a real family tradition.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cookies were a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.
