Oatmeal Drop Cookies

"My grandmother made this for us when I was very young. Back to the basics. No fancy ingredients, and it turns out great. She got this recipe from her mother, my great grandmother and I got it from her. My great grandmother lived to be 102 & 1/2 years old. This was one of her favorite treats that she ate often. It also brings back good memories just to make this recipe. Four generations still enjoy this."

  1. Just like my mom used to make and just like me my kids just love these! I do add extra cocoa as we like them really chocolatey. I also slipped in some ground flax seed and all bran buds cereal to add some extra fiber and the kids were none the wiser! Great and versitile recipie!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am married to a Cajun man and we have lived in Lafayette, La. for 39 years. The people here are known for their fantastic food. I have learned to cook it from my mother-in- law. I am a recently retired Cosmetologist/teacher/shop owner and also a Gospel Concert promoter. As you can see, I love to be busy and communicate with the public.Our children are all grown now and away from home. We have 2 sons and 1 daughter and 2 grand daughters. I use to hate tin pie plates(personal reasons) but am now over that LOL. My favorite local cookbook is "Talk About Good". It is all Cajun and Creole recipes from this area.
