Great Grandma Johnson's Oatmeal Cookies image

My Dad's Mom, Grandma Johnson, was the best cook and baker. Everything she made was delicious. A lot of what I learned about cooking and baking came from Grandma Johnson through my mother (Grandma taught my Mom how to cook).

These cookies are the perfect sweet treat. They're not too heavy, and they have just the right amount of sweetness. I love them with a glass of cold milk.

These cookies are my absolute favorite! They're soft, chewy, and full of flavor. I always have a batch of them in my freezer so I can enjoy them whenever I want.

This was my first time making oatmeal cookies, and they turned out great! They were easy to make, and they tasted delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.

I made these cookies with whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar, and they were still delicious! They're a great healthy snack that the whole family can enjoy.

I've been making these cookies for years, and they're always a favorite. They're so easy to make, and they always turn out perfectly. I love the way the oats give them a chewy texture.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They were soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and oats. I added a handful of raisins for some extra flavor and texture, and they turned out great.
