Another classic recipe from one of my grandmothers. This recipe is my absolute favorite for oatmeal cookies. I love the flavor and texture of these Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies. Eat them warm with a cold glass of milk and you’ll be sure to enjoy them too! I also like leaving out the nutmeg and adding in mini chocolate chips for a delightful change.
