"My Mom started my sisters and I making these cookies when we were very young. I think it was probably the first thing I ever baked. This recipe produces a rather crisp cookie which we all thought was good."

Excellent oatmeal cookie! Next time I make these (and I will make them again) I will add raisins!! To me it's just not the same without the raisins!

I own a Needlepoint Shop in Austin, Texas. When I am not working, I love to cook and exercise. My Mother left me a wonderful collection of cookbooks and recipes that I am having a great time going through. I also love to Flyfish. I travel a couple of times a year to beautiful spots to fish for either trout or salmon. I have 4 cats, 1 in my store and 3 at home. (Medici, Rhett, Cassandra and Brooke Lynn). My favorite town is Santa fe, NM and my favorite restaurant in The Compound on Canyon Road. The Ruby Red Grapefruit Martinis are the best. Also love Santacafe. http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/778632/064.JPG <img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza> http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/778632/the%20girls.jpg <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/778632/colleen.jpg <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/cswap.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cinnamonchallenge.JPG> <img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg>
