Easy Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

The Best Oatmeal Cookie Recipe From Mom's Old Recipe Box

This is an easy oatmeal cookie recipe to make, and the old-fashioned oatmeal cookies are truly delicious.

Mom got this simple cookie recipe from her sister Audrey who always made great cookies. Now, Aunt Audrey's recipe is yours to enjoy.

Nothing beats the wholesome, all-natural taste of oatmeal in a cookie. I love to eat these cookies after they have been chilled in the freezer for a while, but you can enjoy yours whatever way you want. Try dunking them in your coffee, or crumble them over homemade vanilla ice cream for a special taste treat.

1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup sour milk (or sweet milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2-1/2 cups flour. Roll thin and bake.

When baked, fill with date filling to make them Jam-Jams.
