Judy Murphy's Oatmeal Cookies
"This is a very different oatmeal cookie. I grew up with these being made often by my mother. She in turn got it from her Aunt Judy. They are wonderful dipping cookies for coffee, tea or milk. They're crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Another bonus is that they're dairy free!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have been overseas teaching at international schools for 7 years. Married with 2 young children. Normal life- sports, school, dr appointments. Positive- we get to go to Italy/Switzerland/Morocco etc for breaks and cheap. Negative- we really miss our extended family. We go home to the USA at Christmas for 3 weeks and for 7 weeks in the summers. Home is Ohio.
We do a lot of entertaining and I love looking for/trying new recipes.
