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.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a chewier cookie.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the cookies even softer, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.

- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
