Oatmeal Cookies

I made these with chocolate chips in place of the raisins or nuts, and I think next time I'll do nuts and chocolate chips. I found out that sweet milk is whole cream, and I substituted evaporated milk in it's place. This is a family recipe from Rillous Yates. Serving size is estimated.
