Oatmeal Cookies

I came across this recipe while I was looking for a picture of my dad and his plane from WWII.
I didn't find the picture, but I clearly remember the day I won a prize at the Fayette County Fair in Washington Court House Ohio for these Oatmeal Cookies. It is written in my original handwriting as it was when I was a little girl. I have to make sure to save it for Allison. My dad was so proud of me the day I won. He had an amazing smile and laugh. He also had an unbelieveable sweet tooth. One of his favorite sayings was "Save your fork, something better is coming next."
