These Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies bring back childhood memories.
That delicious cinnamon smell while baking never leaves our minds.
It brings me right back to those days when mom made them while they were baking.
That's what I love about cooking, all the wonderful kitchen memories, the amazing aroma, and these cookies were the best.
Through the years, I have tried many recipes and always come back to this one because not only is it great but they're so easy to make.
Mom knew best when it came to baking these delicious old-fashioned oatmeal cookies.

- 2 eggs
- vanilla
- Blend together
- Stir in:
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 nutmeg
- 1/2 salt
- 1 teaspoon or more of cinnamon I love it so I use more!
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- Optional Additions: Split the batter in half add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to one and 1/2 cup raisins to the other. Other suggestions would be using coconut in the same amount and any candy bar you prefer chopped.
instructions:
- Blend all the dry ingredients until it forms together. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet.
