Delicious Oatmeal Cookies

"A cookie that was always there! This recipe makes so many cookies my mother-in-law never ran out. This was a good thing for me as it was a favorite of mine. There are no eggs in this recipe. I think this recipe is as old as dirt. PS. I half this recipe."

  1. I really wasn't sure how to rate these. The recipe was simple to follow and they were done in no time but there was hardly any flavor. Very bland. However, I could not stop eating them. Since they are not overly sweet you just don't get sick of them. I halved the recipe and apparently made my cookies larger than I should have because I only got about 20 cookies total. I will make these again but next time throw in some cinnamon and raisins.

I live in Manitoba Canada. My passions are painting, cooking, and gardening. My favorite cookbooks are community cookbooks. My pet peeve is people comparing themselves to others.
