How funny! I think my mom got her recipe for oatmeal cookies from the
cannister of Quaker Oats some 50 years ago And it's quite possible her
mother made them before that. A fond memory I have is of going to my
Scottish grandmother's house in Ohio and the moment you went in the side
kitchen door, after hugging Grandma, we went for the cookie tin on the shelf
above the cellar stairs. In it, she always had oatmeal cookies and peanut
butter cookies. She always had cookies And she made scones (not the
fruit/preserve filled ones, more like American biscuits) which she served
with thick clotted cream. God, I miss those. I still have the cast iron
griddle on which she baked the scones.
