MRS. GYER’S COOKIES (Oatmeal) – December 4 – National Cookie Day

This was my Grandma Merrell’s go to Oatmeal cookie recipe. Not sure who Mrs. Geyer is since my grandma has been gone for over 35 years. Most of the recipes in her recipe box were hers – this is one of a few exceptions. I hope you enjoy.
