Family-Favorite Oatmeal Cookies image

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.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These cookies are so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my family. I love that I can use different mix-ins, like chocolate chips or dried cranberries, to change up the flavor.
