Nancy, do you have a recipe for oatmeal cookies? Last year I used my aunts and I didn't like the cookies, not sure if maybe her oats were stale or if I did something wrong, but I always follow a recipe exact.

I love oatmeal cookies and if I could get Archways recipe, I'd make them all the time.

 

[Meriweather]

several. I like the one on the Quaker Oatmeal box. I use chocolate chips in them.
