Try It Tuesday: Grandma Miller’s Oatmeal Cookies

Those who know me know I cook to relax. I especially love to cook and bake for family and others I love. One of my family’s favorite recipes came from my sister many years ago. 

These cookies are neither “healthy” nor gluten free. They ARE easy to mix and bake. They are just good old fashioned oatmeal cookies. Try them with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
