Oatmeal cookies were the first cookies that I ever learned to make when I was a young girl. I remember a little lady from our church was baking them in the church kitchen and she showed me how to make them. Such a sweet memory! I like making these yummy cookies in big batches. I’ll save some for the family and then I’ll freeze the rest for a later date. I’ll even share some with others like the shut-ins from our church.
I think these cookies are a wonderful treat to take to a baseball. soccer, or football game. They are easy to share and everyone tends to love them.
