SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

Spiced Oatmeal Cookies image

I'm the fourth generation of cooks in my family to bake these cookies. When my grandmother sent me a batch for my birthday one year, I asked her for the recipe. That's when I learned it was originally my great-grandmother's recipe. It's one that I will definitely make sure gets passed on! -Loretta Pakulski, Indian River, Michigan
