FAMILY-FAVORITE SOFT OATMEAL COOKIES
My mother got this recipe in about 1910 when she was a housekeeper for the local physician. The doctor's wife was an excellent cook and shared the recipe with my mother, who later shared it with me. Now my five grown children also enjoying baking these cookies for their families-it's a tradition.
