The Best (Literally) Oatmeal Cookies

  So these cookies are a family favorite and have been passed down to us from Lisa's grandmother. They are the best, and will remain the best, oatmeal cookies ever tasted by human tastebuds (and we've used A LOT of different recipes). We recommend you try them out, and as our first blog, let us know how you like them! We've perfected them by now, in a couple variations and we guarantee they'll become a family favorite amongst your family too :)
