Old Fashion Oatmeal Cookies

When I was little, my mother use to make this cookie along with one that was my brother's favorite. It started to become a comfort food for me. As time passed and family started going their own way, I didn’t get a chance to have this cookie very often. Even though I had the recipe, it never turned out the way mom made it. Now, when family gets together my mother has a batch of these sitting on the counter when I get there. Boy are they good! Not very healthy, but I’ll make the sacrifice.
