This recipe is my mother's personal recipe for Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip cookies. She has made them all her life and I've never tasted any cookie similar to it or better than it. I couldn't believe she actually parted with the recipe!

These oatmeal cookies have been served to us by my mother since I was a child. I can't say it's an original, but no one has ever told me they make the same kind, yet. They hold a special place in my heart and they make me feel like I was a kid again.
